Loneliness. We've all been there. Some of us may still be there but "My God, a whole moment of happiness! Is that too little for the whole of man's life?"Nothing can stir the lake of my emotions like Dostoyevsky's writing. His hero, with his pure heart, lives in his dream world. What a character! He dreams even in his dreams. He claims to be often in love but when asked with whom he is in love, his reply is, "Why, with no one, with an ideal, with the one I dream of in my sleep." Like other Dostoyevsky novels I have read before, I saw reflections of my own psyche. I think, this is why I am very much attracted to this one."I have lived, as they
Night is that time of day when loneliness tends to be amplified. White Nights is set in summer time in St Petersburg but it has none of the warmth and cheeriness one associates with summer. The narrator has no name and this could well be the story of anyone who finds himself in the same predicament. White Nights is subtitled a sentimental story from the diary of a dreamer. It is a very short, sad, love story but it packs in psychological insights that are real and true. It is the holiday season
"All of a sudden it seemed to me as though I, the solitary one, had been forsaken by the whole world, and that the whole world would have nothing to do with me."No doubt that at some point in our lives, each of us can relate to the sentiment expressed by the narrator of Dostoyevskys short story, White Nights. A lonely soul, a young man, wanders the streets of St. Petersburg musing over a city left emptied as the crowds flee to the countryside for their holidays. He, of course, has not received
Ive been a long time fan of Dostoevskys novels, but this is the first short story Ive read, and it reads like a months worth of emotion condensed into a couple of hours. Its an intense ride.It takes place over four nights, through the course of which we see different lights and shades of two characters as an unorthodox romance unfolds between them. At first I was delighted, then frankly disturbed, then suddenly felt sorrow for the nameless narrator, then anger, then downright alarm, then at the
The unnamed narrator of White Nights, as he goes about telling us himself, is a bit of a dreamer, a loner, with no real friends to call friends. He only knows the look and soul of the physical places around his city, Saint Petersburg. Hiding from the day, he wanders aimlessly around the city at night, animating each street corner, trying to fill the voids of his existence. Dostoyevskys short novel lasts for four nights. On the first night, the dreamer meets a crying woman, and bravely approaches
Let me preface this review by announcing that I have never read anything that had put my thoughts and feelings as a dreamer so accurately as it has been put in this story! My dear Fyodor gets it, he really does!A dreamer is someone who shuts himself from the rest of the world and loses himself in his own mind and dreams. His entire life has been like that. That is pretty much how he lived his life, and he does not mind it, not at all, he in fact, likes it.I am a dreamer. I know so little of real
