Another Man's Wife and a Husband Under the Bed

"Another Man's Wife and a Husband Under the Bed" (Russian: Чужая жена и муж под кроватью, Chuzhaya zhena i muzh pod krovatyu) is an 1848 short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

The story originated from two separate pieces: "Another Man's Wife" and "A Jealous Husband" (published in 1848 in the journal "Notes of the Fatherland").

In preparing the 1859 two-volume collected works, the writer combined both in one story — "Another Man’s Wife and a Husband Under the Bed".

In his story, Dostoevsky utilized some techniques of the vaudeville genre, in particular the construction of the dialogues, replete with puns.

Dostoevsky continued to use these techniques in future works (for example, in "Uncle's Dream").
