The romantic story "White Nights" was published in 1848, and it is one of the most poetic works of the great classic. Set against the backdrop of the canals of St. Petersburg illuminated by the bright White Nights of the North, a young clerk and a girl are presented to us by the author as purely innocent and pure in soul, living and moving in a St. Petersburg that mainly resembles Pushkin.
In this small masterpiece, Dostoevsky does not stray from reality and always presents the truth stark naked, for which he seems to suffer to the depths of his soul.
In "Bobok," the reader can easily distinguish the humorous capabilities of the author, even if the motif seems somewhat macabre and sharply ironic.
