White Nights Fyodor Dostoyevsky

St. Petersburg, its light, its houses and its avenues are the scene of this passionate novel. On one of those "white nights" that take place in the Russian city during the summer solstice season, a lonely and introverted young man tells how he accidentally meets a girl at the edge of the canal. After the first meeting, the couple of strangers will be summoned the following three nights, nights in which she, named Nástenka, will tell her sad story and in which they will be present, in a subtle and enveloping way, the great passions that move to the human being: love, illusion, hope, heartbreak, disappointment.
