Reseña del libro "White Nights (en Inglés)"
A dreamer. A stranger on a bridge. Four nights that will haunt him for the rest of his life.In the luminous summer of St. Petersburg, when the sun barely sets and the city glows through the night, a lonely young man wanders the streets, more at home in his fantasies than among people. He has lived in the city for eight years without making a single friend. Then, on the embankment of a canal, he comes upon a young woman weeping, and everything changes.Her name is Nastenka. She, too, is waiting for something: the return of a man who promised to come back for her a year ago. Over four enchanted nights, the Dreamer and Nastenka share their secrets, their hopes, and their solitude, and he begins to believe that his dreams might finally become real. But the morning always comes.First published in 1848, White Nights is one of Fyodor Dostoevsky's most beloved works: a tender, bittersweet tale of longing, loneliness, and the fragile beauty of a love that may exist only for a moment. Written years before Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, it reveals the young Dostoevsky's extraordinary insight into the human heart, and it has inspired filmmakers from Luchino Visconti to Robert Bresson.This edition presents the classic English translation by Constance Garnett, the translator who introduced generations of English-speaking readers to the great Russian novelists. It includes:An annotated introduction placing the story in the context of Dostoevsky's life and workExplanatory footnotes on historical, cultural, and literary referencesA clear, comfortable large-print layout (12-point text) for an enjoyable reading experienceBeautiful illustrations that capture the dreamlike atmosphere of St. Petersburg's white nightsTimeless and deeply moving, White Nights is a perfect introduction to Dostoevsky and a story to return to again and again.
