White Nights
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881): His first novel, Humanities, was published in 1846. Famous critic V. Byelinski talked about Dostoyevsky as the great writer of the future upon this work. However, although his later published works are among the literary classics of our time, they did not attract much attention at that time. The writer was arrested in 1849 on the grounds that he was a member of the Petrashevsky group opposed to the oppressive regime of Nicholas I. While he was about to be shot, his sentence was commuted to exile and compulsory military service. He regained his fame with the novels he wrote after his Siberian exile. In addition to White Nights, which he wrote a year before his exile and which is one of his most well-known works, this book also includes the stories Someone Else's Wife and The Husband Under the Bed, The Christmas Tree and the Wedding, The Honorable Thief, and The Soft-Hearted, all dating back to 1848.
