White Nights

White Nights is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky set in Saint Petersburg during its summer white nights. It follows a lonely, introspective young narrator who meets Nastenka, a young woman waiting for the man she loves. Over four nights, the two share confidences, and the narrator briefly allows himself to hope for romance. The work examines solitude, longing, imagination, and the fragile boundary between affection and illusion.
