White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Details

White Nights (1848, approximately 112 pages) is a novella by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. From Goodreads:

"Set in St. Petersburg, it is the story of a young man fighting his inner restlessness. A light and tender narrative, it delves into the torment and guilt of unrequited love. Both protagonists suffer from a deep sense of alienation that initially brings them together. A blend of romanticism and realism, the story appeals gently to the senses and feelings."

There are multiple copies available at the Stockholm public library. Note that there is already a fairly long queue so I would reserve it early if you're planning on borrowing it (apparently this book has been popular on social media recently). There is also a free ebook on Project Gutenberg.

Important update: Weather permitting I've updated the location to Humlegården. In case of bad weather we'll move back indoors to Källarbyn. I'll post an update a few hours before the event.

Update: The latest forecast I've seen (15:45) looks to be OK. It'll be overcast, but according to the forecast we should stay warm and dry at least. Hope to see you in Humlegården later!
