Product Overview & Details

White Nights is one of Dostoyevsky's most beloved novellas, telling the poignant story of a lonely, idealistic dreamer who wanders the streets of St. Petersburg during the city's luminous summer nights. His solitary existence changes when he meets Nastenka, a young woman waiting for the return of the man she loves. Over four unforgettable nights, the two form a deep emotional bond, sharing their hopes, fears, and dreams.

As the dreamer falls in love, he must confront the painful reality that affection does not always lead to fulfillment. Through its exploration of loneliness, longing, romantic idealism, and the bittersweet nature of human connection, White Nights remains one of Dostoyevsky's most touching and accessible works.

This edition is part of the Penguin Little Black Classics series, created to celebrate the rich diversity of classic literature. The compact paperback presents White Nights alongside the short story "Bobok", making it an excellent introduction to Dostoyevsky's writing. The 2016 paperback edition is 128 pages long and was published by Penguin Classics.
