White Nights

Featuring an elegant literary bridge at the end, seamlessly connecting Dostoyevsky’s work to Virginia Woolf’s essential essay on freedom.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was a master of Russian literature and is widely considered one of the greatest psychological novelists in world history. His works deeply explore the complexities of the human soul, existentialism, and morality. After surviving a mock execution and spending four years in a Siberian labor camp, his writing gained a profound philosophical depth. While famous for heavy masterpieces like "Crime and Punishment", his early novella "White Nights" remains one of his most tender, lyrical, and moving stories about loneliness and unrequited love.
