“What is a heart without a dream?”
Set in the dreamy, twilight streets of St. Petersburg, White Nights is a poignant and lyrical tale of love, loneliness, and fleeting connections. The story follows a nameless narrator—an introverted dreamer—who wanders the city’s white nights and unexpectedly meets Nastenka, a young woman with a fragile heart and a complicated past.

A short yet emotionally profound novella, White Nights is a timeless exploration of unrequited love and the beauty of brief, transformative encounters. A must-read for fans of introspective classics and poetic storytelling.
