White Nights. Dostoevsky F.M.

Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) not only acutely felt the time at which he lived, but also managed to “grab” and fix several “types” of Russian national consciousness in his works: this is a “weak heart” (according to The name of the writer’s story of the same name), and “poor people”, “proud man”, and “underground”, and, finally, “dreamer”, whose sad fate is in “white nights”.

But who is he, this dreamer of Dostoevsky? A romantic lover, ready to sacrifice life for the sake of a beautiful stranger and her happiness with another? A poor official who spent his life on barren dreams and lost every flair of genuine reality? A vulgar layman who gives his powerlessness and cowardice in front of life for a magical dream woven from rainbow fantasies? Or an unrecognized artist whose brilliant images did not need an indifferent life, which rejected his talent and betrayed him undeserved oblivion? Look for an answer in the book.
