Leí esta noveleta como una especie de comodín, un descanso entre los largos capítulos de Crimen y castigo. Me encontré con un relato romántico profundo y desolador. Una buena lectura para las listas navideñas ;)
"My God! A whole minute of bliss! Is that really so little for the whole of a man's life?"
Friend-zoned but make it classic. If a Gen-Z would summarize this, perfect word is "delulu"
A good introduction to Dostoevsky. His writing is like a luscious garden you just want to go into.

i adored this book. it was first of all very accessible and easy to read. dostoevsky's writing is truly beautiful and as an introduction to him, i felt like it was great. in such a short time, you're able to see into the minds of these characters and walk away feeling a lot of emotions

"Nastienka, parce que j'ai parfois des moments d'un tel désespoir, d'un tel ennui...; parce que dans ces moments-là il commence à me sembler que je ne serai jamais capable de me mettre à vivre d'une vraie vie ; parce qu'il m'a déjà semblé que j'avais perdu tout tact, tout sens du présent, du réel ; parce qu'enfin je me suis maudit moi-même; parce qu'après mes nuits fantastiques j'ai des instants de dégrisement qui sont effrayants!"

I was trying to see what the hype was about and it's perhaps that I read Madonna In a Fur Coat first that this pales in comparison, regardless of the fact that White Nights was published first. I also acknowledge that White Nights is a short story while Madonna In a Fur Coat is a whole novel so the degree of how fleshed out the characters are is going to be different.
Both books have similar themes and fairly comparable. A reclusive man changes his views on the world upon meeting a remarkable woman. He projects his dreams and hopes unto this woman and ends up being dejected as a result, inspite his good intentions.
But more than that it's also a tragic story of love and friendship that did not meet where it was supposed to, of a chance encounter between two people who longs for the same thing—companionship—but have different expectations of what that means to each other.

I am a bit confused and very befuddled by that emotional rollercoaster.
I need to read it again to form a proper opinion, I don't think I caught most stuff.
I don't know if I like the main character. I don't know if I like anybody.
But it was beautiful, in it's own way, with the dreamer and the dialogue.
Truly a timeless story.
