White Nights
by fyodor-dostoevsky
A lonely dreamer in St. Petersburg spends four nights with a young woman waiting for her lover to return, experiencing the bittersweet intensity of brief human connection.
Russian novelist, philosopher, and essayist (1821-1881) whose psychologically profound works including Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Notes from Underground established him as one of the greatest writers in world literature and a foundational figure of existentialism.
