Fyodor Dostoyevsky: White Nights, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A bittersweet masterpiece of loneliness, longing, and the fragile beauty of human connection.

Set against the luminous, ethereal backdrop of St. Petersburg's summer nights, Fyodor Dostoyevsky's timeless novella introduces us to the Dreamer - a lonely, young intellectual who lives entirely within his own imagination. For years, he has walked the city streets as an isolated observer, unable to find a place in the real world.

Everything changes on one fateful evening when he rescues Nastenka, a young woman weeping by the canal. Over the course of four enchanted nights, the two lonely souls share their deepest secrets, fears, and dreams. As the Dreamer falls deeply, hopelessly in love, Nastenka clings to him for comfort, while still desperately waiting for the return of her true love who left a year ago.

"White Nights" is a profoundly moving exploration of the human heart, beautifully capturing that fleeting moment when two solitary lives intersect. It is an essential read for anyone who has ever loved unrequitedly or found solace in the quiet hours of the night.
