White Nights
White Nights: A Gentle Creature ; The Dream of a Ridiculous Man | Fyodor Dostoyevsky
10 posts | 36 read | 2 reading | 8 to read
In the stories in this volume Dostoevsky explores both the figure of the dreamer divorced from reality and also his own ambiguous attitude to utopianism, themes central to many of his great novels. In White Nights the apparent idyll of the dreamer's romantic fantasies disguises profound loneliness and estrangement from 'living life'. Despite his sentimental friendship with Nastenka, his final withdrawal into the world of the imagination anticipates the retreat into the 'underground' of many of Dostoevsky's later intellectual heroes. A Gentle Creature and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man show how such withdrawal from reality can end in spiritual desolation and moral indifference and how, in Dostoevsky's view, the tragedy of the alienated individual can be resolved only by the rediscovery of a sense of compassion and responsibility towards fellow human beings.

L'ho cominciato per due volte e due volte l'ho abbandonato. Cosa mi sfugge della sua bellezza secondo voi?

Sono un sognatore; vivo talmente poco nella realtà, che conto pochissimi momenti come questo, come adesso. Sono ormai costretto a festeggiare l'anniversario delle mie sensazioni, l'anniversario di quanto un tempo mi è stato caro e festeggio queste ricorrenze affinché quegli incorporei e sciocchi sogni non muoiano. È possibile resuscitare anche i sogni.

Era una notte meravigliosa, una di quelle notti che forse può esserci soltanto quando siamo giovani, caro lettore.
