White nights, and other stories

Although Russian fiction master Fyodor Dostoyevsky is best known for epic, sprawling novels that detail psychological and philosophical problems in minute detail, his more concise work is also remarkable in its scope and depth. This collection of stories will please fans of classic Russian literature and Dostoyevsky buffs who are interested in sampling the author's forays into another format.

  • "Dostoyevsky was epileptic. 'White nights' is the term that he used to describe the experience - part ecstatic, part torture - of his epileptic fits.-- N. Ward "Twelve of the Fifty-One Shocks of Antonin Artaud, New Theatre Quarterly, 1999, vol. 15, p. 127."
  • "This collection of short stories includes "White Nights," "A Faint Heart," "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding" and others. In the title story, an anonymous first-person narrator relates his lonely life in St. Petersburg, a common theme for Dostoyevsky. The narrator cannot stop thinking and lives a rich fantasy life in his own mind. He has a series of meetings with a young woman during four nights of the midnight sun, a time in midsummer when the sun never sets completely."@en
