About This Novel
"White Night" is one of the representative works of the writer's literary creation in the 1940s. It is a novella with a strong lyrical flavor. The novel describes the innocent girl Nastenka falling in love with a young tenant. The two agreed to meet on a bridge in Petersburg a year later, but the tenant did not show up. Although the girl was a little disappointed, her confidence remained. The protagonist "Dreamer", a poor intellectual from Petersburg, was deeply moved by the girl's affection, so he comforted her and waited with her by the river for four consecutive nights. At last the tenants appeared, and the "Dreamer" suppressed his newly rising love for Nasthenka and blessed them.

A gentle and cruel night
