White Nights

by Fyodor Dostoevsky

A confession written in the glow of St. Petersburg’s sleepless summer nights, this is one of those rare books that names a feeling you have always carried but never found words for. It has moved readers across every generation because it is, at its heart, one of the most honest and tender things ever written about love. Dostoevsky wrote it early, and it shines with a warmth that even his greatest novels do not quite repeat.
