Product description
The novel "White Nights" gained widespread popularity, and readers loved its overflowing romance and the creative reflections in Dostoevsky's early works, which revolve around the themes that his later works would address. Dostoevsky's writings are generally held in a special place among Arabic readers, more than any other books and novels translated from Russian.
A brief about the book "White Nights"
In "White Nights," Vasya, the protagonist, talks about his dreams, emotions, and tender, gentle love. But this young man, who lives an isolated life and is overwhelmed by his strong feelings and romantic dreams, dreams of moving from the role of an obscure poet at first to a crowned writer with laurels of fame. He needs to escape this imaginary life. He needs to find a friend (or a friend of the opposite sex) to confide his feelings.
And here, on a night in the white month of May, while the light gives the sleeping city a magical character, he meets a miserable girl. She is subjected to harassment 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 from the past was crying her, so 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 and sincerely, hiding nothing.
This character is one of the most beloved characters created by Dostoevsky, and for Dostoevsky himself, he is the closest to his heart and the most cherished within himself. This character will appear in more than one of his works.
They said about Dostoevsky:

Quotes from the book "White Nights"
A moment full of happiness.
Oh my Lord, does human life need more than this?
And the strange and wonderful thing is that it increased her interest in me, as if she instinctively wanted to pour onto me what she wishes for herself and fears may not come true, so she finally understood that I love her and that she pities my miserable love.
And so, when we are unhappy, we feel others’ suffering more clearly.
Hanging hopes make the heart sick.
