Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was not only one of the greatest novel masters in the Russian literary world of the nineteenth century, but also one of the most complex, contradictory, and greatest novel masters in history in the world.
With his voluminous creations, he is unique and unparalleled in his profound description and in-depth exploration of human beings' complex and even divided human nature, psychology and even abnormal spirits. If Tolstoy represents the breadth of Russian literature, Dostoyevsky represents the depth of Russian literature.
Shanghai Translation Publishing House's cloth-bound hardcover "Collected Works of Dostoevsky" includes all seven novels by Dostoyev "The Injured and Insulted People", "Notes from the House of the Dead", "Crime and Punishment", "The Idiot", "Ghost", "The Boy" and "The Brothers Karamazov", as well as the collection of short and medium stories "White Nights", totaling eight categories and nine volumes, basically covering all the most important literary works created by Dostoyev throughout his life. "White Nights" is a collection of novellas by the great Russian writer Dostoyevsky in the 19th century, including the famous stories "The Poor Man", "White Nights" and "The Gambler".
"White Nights" 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. The protagonist "Dreamer" was deeply moved by the girl's affection and waited with her by the river for four consecutive nights until the tenant showed up.
Reader comments
I was very touched by her persistence in love. And the "Dreamer", whose company makes people feel warm. This book made me feel the beauty of love and the power of waiting. I think everyone can find something of themselves in the book. What a great book worth reading again and again!
This short and concise novel can well understand the loneliness and despair of the male protagonist. He longs to find a lover, a person who understands him, and a person who can comfort each other's souls. So that whenever there is a slight chance, the author's feelings are like a flood and are out of control, and he wants to urgently put his own love. Everything is displayed in front of this "lover", confess everything about yourself, and even give your heart to your "lover". However, it is difficult for most of us to meet our "lover" and can only live in darkness forever. Judging from the ending of the male protagonist in the novel, I think this is what the author wants to express. I'm wondering why it's called "White Night"? What is "white night"? In fact, it is like encountering a little light in the eternal night, just like the male protagonist in the novel met Nastyanka in a bleak, lonely and desolate life. It seems that there is finally a little light. The male protagonist wants to grasp this light urgently, but finally finds that everything is in vain, just like the night is always dark, even if there is a little light, it is not enough to resist the darkness of the night.
Heart-wrenching novel
Ups and downs, wonderful things, the purest love, the most beautiful fantasy.
I finished reading this chapter in St. Petersburg, and I suddenly realized what kind of white night this was.
