White Nights
One lonely summer night in St. Petersburg, two strangers meet along a deserted riverwalk-one a "dreamer," forever out of sync with the world; the other, a young woman desperate to leave the predictable confines of her childhood home. Their connection is immediate. What starts as a single encounter becomes four sleepless nights together, sharing their deepest secrets, fears, and hopes under the protective cover of moonlight. But when day breaks, they must finally ask-how long can a moment of real happiness last?Fyodor Dostoevsky's White Nights may have been written nearly 200 years ago, but this story of a total introvert struggling to find love in an impatient city could have been written yesterday. It's a tale of urban longing, loneliness, love, bad timing, and-ultimately-understanding. As relatable now as it was when it was first published, White Nights leads us through a waking dream of humid summer nights, instant friendship, and fleeting love. A great first-introduction to Dostoevsky's vast catalogue, and a lasting favorite for his fans.
