Description:

This is the 2020 Turkish edition of White Nights (Beyaz Geceler), published by Dokuz Yayınları. Written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and first published in 1848, the novella is a lyrical and deeply emotional early work of the author.

The story is set in St. Petersburg and follows an unnamed lonely narrator who meets a young woman named Nastenka during the city’s bright summer “white nights.” Over the course of several nights, they form a close emotional bond, sharing dreams, loneliness, and hopes for the future. However, their relationship develops under delicate and ultimately bittersweet circumstances, exploring themes of love, illusion, and emotional longing.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the most important figures in world literature, known for his psychological depth and exploration of human suffering, morality, and existential struggle. While his later works are darker and more complex, White Nights reflects a more romantic and sentimental phase of his writing, focusing on youthful emotion and fragile human connections.

This Dokuz Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of the novella, making it accessible to contemporary readers. As one of Dostoyevsky’s most beloved shorter works, it holds strong literary and emotional appeal.
