Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Another Man's wife

Another Man's Wife and a Husband under the Bed is a humorous short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The novella looks like a cliché of the vaudeville genre. The theme of the love triangle (or rather the polygon, given the number of heroin's lovers), the ridiculous and pathetic adulterer husbands (always much older than their wives), the idea that a young wife is necessarily lying, fickle and unfaithful, many misunderstandings which lead to situations, but also plenty of dialogues, improbabilities and unexpected twists of all sorts give this sketch a look of a "theater of the boulevard".
