Noches Blancas Y Otros Cuentos / White Nights and Other Stories [Spanish]

By Fiodor M. Dostoievski and Fyodor Dostoevsky

En Noches blancas, t tulo de uno de los relatos que recoge esta antolog a de cuentos, est narrada en primera persona por un narrador sin nombre; un joven residente en San Petersburgo que sufre de soledad.

Noches blancas, publicada en 1848, es pese a su brevedad un virtuoso ejercicio de introspecci n psicol gica y una peculiar muestra de los v nculos de su autor con el romanticismo. Su joven y solitario protagonista deambula por San Petersburgo azorado por la huida estival de sus habitantes, hallando de manera fortuita a la atormentada N stenka. Noche tras noche, ambos se reunir n en el muelle y compartir n sus infortunios, a la espera de una cuarta velada que determinar su porvenir. Con su caracter stica construcci n literaria dial gica, Dostoievski hace orbitar esta novela en torno a la figura del h roe que triunfa en la derrota, pues es su salvaci n mirar de frente al desencanto.

Acompa an a este relato, los siguientes cuentos: El coraz n d bil, El ladr n honrado, El rbol de Navidad y una boda, El peque o h roe y El ni o con la manita; en todas estas historias, Dostoievski observa con ternura a quienes no pueden vivir sin amor, pero tampoco pueden alcanzarlo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I don't know how to be silent when my heart is speaking."

Set in the enchanting streets of St. Petersburg, this is a story of a young man who is a dreamer, and wanders on the city's deserted lanes during long summer nights.

On a foggy night, under the hazy streetlights, a young man met Nastenka, who captured his heart with her beauty and innocence. They spent four consecutive nights together, as he becomes increasingly besotted with Nastenka, sharing his innermost thoughts and feelings.

Just as he was beginning to feel safe in their oasis, he discovers that Nastenka is in love with another man; a prince who has promised to return to her after a long absence. Yet, he is certain that even Nastenka is drawn to him, each grappling with their own sense of longing and desire for connection.

Through this vivid narrative of the intoxicating power of hope, the young man's monologues reveal his absolute yearning for love, while Nastenka's vulnerability and romantic idealism add layers of emotion to the story.

The stories included in this book are: A Faint Heart, The Honest Thief, A Christmas Tree and a Wedding, A Little Hero, among others.
