White Nights

On the luminous white nights of St. Petersburg, a nameless young dreamer wanders the embankments with no one to hear his thoughts—until he meets Nastenka, a tearful stranger on a bridge. Over four evenings, they share secrets, dreams, and tentative promises, and he dares to believe in a love he has never known. Fyodor Dostoevsky’s early masterpiece is a tender, bittersweet portrait of loneliness, sudden connection, and the fragile line between fantasy and reality. Miguel Khoury’s intimate, finely shaded narration brings the city’s midnight glow and the characters’ quiet yearning to life. With measured pacing and emotional clarity, he captures the novella’s wistful humor and its unforgettable turn, letting every pause and confession resonate. At just over two hours, this is an ideal one-sitting listen—an atmospheric journey through twilight streets and first love’s bright, vanishing light. Perfect for fans of classic literature, romantic fiction, and beautifully crafted short works, this edition invites you to linger in Dostoevsky’s world of possibility, where a conversation can change a life and a single night can echo forever.
