The eternal husband
This novel, which appeared in 1870, revolves around the already classic conflict that arises from the marid-fussada-lover triangle, although under the particular prism of the universal Russian writer. In fact, by placing women by different means as a nebulous pole, although not less attractive, the work deepens the motif by focusing on the ambivalent relationship of attraction and repulsion that Pável Pávlovich Trusotski - a man born with the unstoppable vocation of being eternal and necessarily husband, and a mocked husband, for more signs - and Velchaninov - a neurastenic and unsolved Don John, who, not being entirely alien to sentimentalism, is largely deviated from the classic burdadoric and in the tragical effects that result.
