The White Nights

Book Title: White Nights Author Name: Fyodor Dostoevsky Translator Name: Sami Al-Droubi Number of Pages: 141 The novel came with five chapters, four chapters titled "Nights" and the fifth and final chapter titled "Morning." The novel began by talking about the darkness of life in St. Petersburg and dispelling this darkness with a gentle meeting in the first night to prove the truth that one recovers through love. The author succeeded in playing with the feelings of readers, as emotions conflicted between love and indifference, meeting and farewell, youth and old age, light and darkness. The "White Nights" novel did not spread widely, but readers loved its overflowing romance and the creative reflections in Dostoevsky's early works, swirling around the themes that his works would address. Dostoevsky's writings generally hold a special place among Arab readers compared to any translated books and novels from Russian.

About the "White Nights" Book In "White Nights," "Vasya," the protagonist, talks about his dreams, emotions, and tender, gentle love. But this young man, living an isolated life, drowning in strong feelings and romantic dreams, dreaming of moving from the role of an obscure poet at first to a writer crowned with laurels of fame, needs to escape this imaginary life. He needs to find a friend (or a friend) to confide his feelings. And here, on a white night in May, while the light gives the sleeping city a magical character, he meets a miserable girl. She is harassed by a drunkard, and he rushes to protect her. He feels deep compassion for her because he sees that she is sad and that a memory was crying her. He offers her his friendship. The young man and the girl meet four consecutive nights in the same place, each telling the other his or her life honestly, sincerely, without hiding anything. This character is one of Dostoevsky's most beloved characters, and for Dostoevsky himself, it is the closest to his heart and the one he preferred in himself. This character will appear in more than one of his works. They said about Dostoevsky: A great writer who experienced the mystery of spiritual existence. Albert Einstein No one could analyze the complex composition of a human being like Dostoevsky. Knute Hamsun Dostoevsky is the only teacher of the soul I benefited from. Nietzsche Dostoevsky is a great teacher in the science of psychology. I hardly finish a research in the field of human psychology until I find Dostoevsky has addressed it before me in his writings. Freud Quotes from the book "White Nights": A moment full of happiness. Oh Lord, does a person's life need more than this? And the strange thing is that it doubled her interest in me, as if she wanted instinctively to pour onto me what she wishes for herself and fears might not come true. So she finally understood that I love her and that she pities my miserable love. Thus, when we are unhappy, we feel the suffering of others better. Suspended hopes make the heart sick.
