    Can love exist beyond a single moment? 
    White Nights is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s beautifully melancholic novella about love and longing in the solitude of the night. The story follows a lonely dreamer, an outsider who yearns for companionship but remains trapped in his imagination. One evening, he encounters Nastenka—a young woman who is also lost in her own sorrow. Over the course of four nights, their bond deepens as they share their dreams, fears, and fragile hopes. 
    As the dreamer falls in love, he believes he has finally found the connection he has always longed for. But love is often ephemeral, and fate may have other plans. With a delicate balance of romance, sorrow, and philosophical insight, White Nights explores the fleeting nature of happiness and the deep ache of human isolation.

    This a very unique and unusual love story. It is the life changing story of two people who met as children and fell in love. It starts out as a classic boy meets girl tale that becomes one that I would have never expected to be a part of in my wildest dreams. I am a scientist and I can't scientifically explain what happened, but I now know what it was. This is a story with drama, excitement, tenderness, and understated humor with a love story woven throughout. This story will not finish in the way that it began. I am not the same person I once was and will never be the same again. I still love her with all my heart. TRUE LOVE IS NOT SEEN WITH OUR EYES, BUT WITH OUR HEART AND SOUL. This is our story.

    When Sven Odia began his career at Engel & Völkers, the most important items in his office were a fax machine and a photocopier, which he used to create exposés by hand. Twenty-seven years later, Sven Odia has achieved what many dream of: starting as an apprentice at Engel & Völkers, he has had a remarkable career in the real estate industry and has worked his way to the top of the company. He took on responsibility early on and started as an entrepreneur within the company. His masterpiece: building the Engel & Völkers licensing business abroad. Odia has thus played a decisive role in shaping the fortunes of the real estate company: from its beginnings in Mallorca to its expansion into the USA – with courage, vision and hard work, Odia conquered new markets.
    
    In his book, he shows what good leadership is all about and wants to empower people to write their own success stories. His credo: people don't follow brands or companies, they follow people! A performance-enhancing corporate culture only works if it is exemplified by management day after day. Odia openly and honestly shows how he has dealt with crises, what an immensely important role culture plays in a company, and how executives effectively initiate real change. A must-read for all executives and those who aspire to write their own success story.
