White Nights

White Nights is one of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s most delicate and romantic works, capturing the emotional depth of human longing and solitude. The novella follows an unnamed dreamer living in St. Petersburg, whose quiet, lonely life is transformed when he meets Nastenka, a young woman yearning for love and connection.Over the course of four nights, they share their hopes, dreams, and sorrows, forming a bond that is both intimate and ephemeral. Dostoevsky masterfully explores themes of unrequited love, idealism, and the fleeting nature of happiness, creating a story that is both heartwarming and heartbreakingly poignant.
