White Nights is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky, originally published in 1848, early in the writer's career. Like many of Dostoevsky's stories, "White Nights" is told in the first person by a nameless narrator. The narrator is a young man living in Saint Petersburg who suffers from loneliness and fighting his inner restlessness. A light and tender narrative, it delves into the torment and guilt of unrequited love. Both protagonists suffer from a deep sense of alienation that initially brings them together.Brief description:
Fyodor Dostoevsky was a
Russian philosopher, novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. He
is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in both Russian and world
literature, and many of his works are considered highly influential
masterpieces. His profound psychological novels often explored the human condition, faith, suffering, and existential themes, making him a giant of world literature, famous for works like Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoevsky is hugely admired for his deep dives into psychology, philosophical debates within his characters, and prophetic insights into political and spiritual crises, especially concerning 19th-century Russia, influencing existentialism and later authors.
