White Nights, by Fyodor Dostoevsky

(Run time: 1:55)  Dostoevsky’s unheralded classic story of a lonely man wandering the streets of St. Petersburg over the course of four nights, searching for an escape from his isolation. White Nights was first published in 1848. Set in St. Petersburg, it is the story of a young man fighting his inner restlessness. A light and tender narrative, it delves into the torment and guilt of unrequited love. Both protagonists suffer from a deep sense of alienation that initially brings them together. A blend of romanticism and realism, the story appeals gently to the senses and feelings.
