"White Nights" is the story about a melancholic daydreamer, who spends his life idling in St. Petersburg and indulging in existential questions. He is so much in a world of his own that any actual real-life encounter leaves him bewildered and numb. Dostoevsky’s powerful and detailed psychological portrait makes the reader identify with the protagonist, who cannot but seek means of consoling him. One day a random encounter takes place and the story takes a surprising turn – only to leave the reader gasping for breath once the final pages come. Highly recommended for people who often feels the need to find an alternative to the grey and stifling everyday life.
Fyodor Dostoevsky was a famous Russian writer of novels, short stories, and essays. A connoisseur of the troubled human psyche and the relationships between the individuals, Dostoevsky’s oeuvre covers a large area of subjects: politics, religion, social issues, philosophy, and the uncharted realms of the psychological. He is most famous for the novels "Crime and Punishment", "The Idiot", and "The Brothers Karamazov". His literary legacy was met with mixed feelings, but remains gargantuan in its influence.

A dreamy young 26-year-old man utterly lonely and desolate in the streets of St. Petersburg trying to find the cause of his deep sorrow & loneliness, chances upon a young woman with whom he develops a bond so precious, so tormenting, yet beautiful. This encounter leads them to unravel their entire histories, their darkest thoughts and dashed hopes with each other trying to find a common ground, where there are no secrets between them. They give each other much-needed consolation, lend a kind ear to their sorrows of abandonment, and lost loves and nurse their broken hearts throughout three white nights.
