Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'White Nights' is a poignant novella set in the luminous, almost surreal 'white nights' of St. Petersburg. It follows a lonely, introverted dreamer who, for the first time in his isolated life, encounters a young woman named Nastenka. Over four enchanting nights, they form an intense, intimate bond, sharing their dreams, disappointments, and hopes. This lyrical tale beautifully explores themes of solitude, unrequited love, youthful idealism, and the fragile, fleeting nature of happiness, leaving readers with a bittersweet reflection on human connection and the paths not taken.
