What happens when love exists only for a moment?

First published in 1848, White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a deeply emotional short story about loneliness, hope, and unfulfilled love. Set during the luminous summer nights of St. Petersburg, the story follows a shy dreamer whose chance meeting with a young woman leads to four unforgettable nights of conversation, longing, and fragile happiness.

Through tender prose and psychological insight, Dostoevsky captures the inner world of a man who lives more in dreams than reality. The story explores themes of isolation, idealized love, and the quiet pain of longing for connection.

This timeless work reveals Dostoevsky's early mastery of emotional depth and character psychology, offering readers a moving meditation on love that is felt intensely -- even when it cannot last.
