White Nights is a tender and melancholic tale set against the backdrop of the luminous St. Petersburg summer nights. It follows a nameless narrator who meets Nastenka, a heartbroken young woman, during one of his solitary, nocturnal wanderings. Over the course of four nights, they share their dreams, fears, and stories, forging a deep emotional connection. Dostoevsky’s masterful storytelling and exploration of themes such as loneliness, hope, and the bittersweet nature of love make this story a classic.
