White Nights

Fyodor Dostoevsky · 1848 · Romance

Synopsis

During four magical St. Petersburg summer nights when the sky never fully darkens, a lonely dreamer meets a girl on a canal bridge and falls into a brief, impossible connection. Dostoevsky wrote it in three weeks and barely mentioned it again. Two centuries later it became the surprise literary sensation of 2024 — not despite being short, but because of it.
