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 seasonThere is a sea of emotions raging beneath what seems to be Fyodor Dostoyevskys uncomplicated story White Nights.

I like to look at it as a portrait of the artist as a young man: one of his early pieces that is a little overloaded with melodrama and tends to be overshadowed by later heavyweights like Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot. My infatuation with White Nights comes by way of Italy and through the vision of Luchino Visconti, who adaptaded the story for the silver screen. As St. Petersburg is
"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.
