About this book

Social standing in Mordasoff depends on knowing which secrets to keep and when to hint at them. In the opening of Uncle's Dream, Maria Alexandrovna Moskaleva commands the town's fashionable circle through gossip, careful hospitality and an imposing public manner. Her husband's departure from his official post becomes a test of her influence, while the narrator treats her management of provincial society with amused scrutiny.

This volume pairs that story with The Permanent Husband, presenting two works of Russian fiction by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in Frederick Whishaw's translation. The opening offers a close view of reputation as something maintained through conversation, alliances and calculated appearances. Much of its comedy comes from the gap between dignified behavior and private calculation. Readers interested in social satire can follow the narrator's lively account of a community where a visitor's admiration or a rival's remark carries real weight.
