White Nights is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky that was published in 1848. Set in St. Petersburg, it is the story of a young man fighting his inner restlessness. A light and tender narrative, it delves into the torment and guilt of unrequited love. Both protagonists suffer from a deep sense of alienation that initially brings them together. A blend of romanticism and realism, the story appeals gently to the senses and feelings.

absolutely in love with this book. Another Dostoevsky masterpiece to add to my collection. Unlike other books from Dostoevsky this one’s easy to understand, so its perfect for beginners entering into the world of russian literature. the plot of the book is too good. the book is small but that’s alright considering the price. It can be easily carried and im gonna take this on my next trip. The print quality is also really good. Considering the price this is a steal.

This book is beautiful beyond words ð
Book Name- âWhite Nightsâ ð¤ð©¶ð¤Author- Fyodor DostoyevskyPublisher- @penguinclassicsGenre- Classic fictionPages- 128âThatâs just what needs to be done, to listen everywhere and not just in one part, in order to come to an understanding.âðThis book is just so beautiful beyond words. Recently I heard lot of readers talking about this book and immediately I thought to grab this one and I can say that I have done a great job by doing so because a reader definitely need to read this book for a beautiful story. Along with âWhite Nightsâ, there is also another story, âBobokâ that I enjoyed. This is the MOST romantic book Iâve ever read and Iâve devoured it so fast! I didnât saw the time past, I was immerse at the sentiments of the main character that when I stop reading Iâve reached the end. White Nights and Bobok, are the two short stories that typify Dostoyevskyâs complexity. Here, we have as narrator a lonely man who thinks he is going to win the hand of a young woman he meets by chance because she appears vulnerable and in need of his manly wisdom and understanding, only to find that sheâs in love with another man. What a shock that is for the narrator. And itâs an even bigger shock when the man she loves reappears and off she goes, leaving the narrator to contemplate a life of utter loneliness and despair. So what? You might ask. But this story was written in 1848 when Dostoyevsky was just 27. It was written at a time when men were supposed to go out into the world, thrusting their way, making something of themselves with their womenfolk trailing obediently behind them. In the Victorian era real men were not supposed to be lonely, isolated, timid, shy, and acting as though their whole reason for being was dependent on the whims of a young woman. Cracking stuff. And in Bobok we have voices from the grave and thereâs not much to look forward to! According to Dostoyevsky the after life is going to be as full of hypocrisy, petty jealousies, resentments and spite as this life. If you think Dostoyevsky isnât worth reading because of his race and gender, then give this selection a try.Review- âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

Better than this, get another white night, this is more costly, search carefully on Amazon, you will get it at a lower price, whenever you buy, buy the hardcover.

I just finished White Nights by Dostoevsky, and wowâthis little book packs a punch. It’s a short read, but it perfectly captures loneliness, hope, and heartbreak in just a few pages. The story follows a dreamy, introverted guy who meets a girl during St. Petersburgâs âwhite nightsâ (when the sun barely sets), and they form a deep but fleeting connection. If youâve ever been lost in your own thoughts or had a love that didnât last, this one will hit home.The writing is poetic and emotional, making you really feel for the main character. The Penguin Little Black Classics edition is also greatâcompact, stylish, and easy to carry around. The only downside? Some people have received copies with minor damage, but mine arrived just fine.If youâre into classic literature and donât mind a little melancholy, I highly recommend this book. It’s a quick but powerful read!
