Sneak Peek
“Well, yes; but do, for goodness' sake, be kind. Think what I am! Here, I am twenty-six and I have never seen any one. How can I speak well, tactfully, and to the point? It will seem better to you when I have told you everything openly.... I don't know how to be silent when my heart is speaking. Well, never mind.... Believe me, not one woman, never, never! No acquaintance of any sort! And I do nothing but dream every day that at last I shall meet some one. Oh, if only you knew how often I have been in love in that way....”
Summary
This edition of White Nights includes Constance Garnett's 1918 English translation along with additional short stories by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, such as Polzunkov, which tells the story of a ridiculous and amusing man who shares his April Fools' joke that backfired and cost him the woman he hoped to marry. And A Christmas Tree and a Wedding, which features a guest commending his host and hostess on their daughter, who happens to be a future heiress.
