White nights, and other stories
White Nights, and Other Stories collects shorter fiction by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in Constance Garnett's translation. The title story, from 1848, follows a lonely young dreamer through four nights of talk with a girl he meets on a St. Petersburg embankment while she waits for another man. The volume also contains Notes from Underground, the bitter confession of a retired clerk that opens Dostoyevsky's major period, along with A Faint Heart, A Christmas Tree and a Wedding, Polzunkov, A Little Hero and Mr. Prohartchin. Together they show the writer before and after Siberia, moving from sentimental sketches of the city's small people to the self-lacerating voice of his later novels.
