In this episode of Soul of the Words by Abhya, I delve into White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky—a short story that feels like poetry, captures loneliness with precision, and explores fleeting love in the most tender way possible.
We follow the story of an unnamed dreamer wandering the streets of St. Petersburg, lost in his thoughts, until he meets Nastenka, a young woman crying by the canal. What follows is a tale of instant connection, selfless love, and bittersweet heartbreak.
This book is about more than just romance—it’s about human psychology, the ache of unfulfilled dreams, and the haunting beauty of moments that slip away too quickly.
I’ll share my thoughts on Dostoevsky’s stunning writing, the introspective reflections of the protagonist, and the poetic beauty that runs through every sentence.
If you love deeply emotional stories, introspective characters, and timeless reflections on love and loneliness, this episode is for you.
Join me as we walk through the streets of St. Petersburg and uncover the heart of White Nights.
