About the Author
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian novelist and philosopher known for his profound exploration of the human psyche. His works, such as Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, delve into themes of morality, faith, and existential struggle. White Nights, one of his earlier short stories, showcases his ability to blend emotion, philosophy, and social commentary in the intimate lives of his characters.
