The Permanent Husband by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881).
Translated by Frederick Whishaw (1854 - 1934)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-permanent-husband-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky/

THE PERMANENT HUSBAND, also published as The Eternal Husband, is a psychological novella by the acclaimed Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The plot revolves around the intense and complex relationship between Velchaninov and Trusotsky. Velchaninov, the protagonist, is a former lover of the recently deceased wife of Trusotsky, the title character.
Some critics have ranked this novella among Dostoeyevsky’s best works because of its style and structure. Alfred Bem has called it "one of the most complete works by Dostoyevsky in regards to its composition and development. – Adapted from Wikipedia

    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I think it might be best if we call this book The Permanent Husband, just because the text titles this story as such. You can put the name The Eternal Husband into the summary so that you can at least mention that that is the usual English translation of the title. Otherwise, we are ready to go!

Chapter 1 is PL OK, but I do have one thing to mention. It's not something that has to be fixed, only if you want to. At :23-:26, you read the translator's birth and death dates. You don't have to read those, unless you really want to.
