Le Notti Bianche / L'eterno Marito by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A pair of compact, emotionally intense novellas set in St. Petersburg explore the fragile inner lives of men undone by longing, envy and self-deception: one tells of a dreamy solitary who, over a few moonlit nights, falls in love with a young woman whose return to a former lover leaves him devastated by the gap between fantasy and reality; the other is a darker, ironical study of tangled pasts and paternal claims as a besieged man confronts humiliating revelations about his late wife and the mysterious rival who keeps reappearing in his life, exposing obsessions, guilt and the uneasy moral compromises of ordinary people.
