Gramedia Buku Novel White Nights (Fyodor Dostoyevski)

White Nights by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a bittersweet tale of love, loneliness, and fleeting connection set in the dreamy, twilight streets of St. Petersburg. The story follows a solitary, sensitive narrator who meets a young woman named Nastenka during one of his nightly walks. Over the course of four nights and a morning, they share their stories, dreams, and emotions, forming a deep bond rooted in their mutual longing for companionship.



But as quickly as the connection forms, reality intrudes, and the narrator is left to grapple with heartbreak and the ache of unfulfilled hope. Poetic and deeply human, White Nights captures the fragile beauty of brief encounters and the emotional intensity of the dreamers who live quietly on society’s margins.
