Channia Raatan – Fyodor Dostoevsky

White Nights is a tender, poetic novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky published in 1848. Set against the luminous, perpetual twilight of St. Petersburg’s summer, the story follows an unnamed solitary “Dreamer” who forms a deep, fleeting bond with a young woman named Nastenka over the course of four magical nights. It is a timeless, melancholic exploration of loneliness, unrequited love, and the fragile beauty of human connection.
