In today's episode of the Love & Literature podcast, Melinda Karaca (your host) will be going through love advice from Dostoyevsky's White Nights.

Published in 1848, the book is set in the cold, dreamlike Russian city of St. Petersburg and follows the story of a young man. Whether he should be guided by love or his own feelings remains to be seen. The feelings of the young man, whose name is unknown, do not always coincide with those of the other characters. The search for human connection, hope, and loneliness is constant, and the narrative directly interrogates the moral values ​​of both the characters and the reader. The story is thus an interrogation of the dynamics of love and its implications. Dostoyevsky makes his readers think and reflect on life through the characters. It is a romantic yet realistic view of human love.
