  For four luminous nights, two lonely souls find refuge in each other beneath the pale summer sky of St. Petersburg. 
   
  Known only as the Dreamer, a sensitive and solitary young man has spent years retreating from ordinary life into an elaborate world of imagination. He wanders the city alone, forming silent attachments to its streets, buildings, and passing strangers while longing for a genuine human connection. 
   
  Then, beside a canal during one of St. Petersburg’s celebrated white nights, he meets Nastenka. 
   
  She is young, heartbroken, and waiting for a former lodger who promised to return and marry her. As the Dreamer listens to her story, the two form an immediate and tender friendship. Over four unforgettable nights, they share their fears, hopes, disappointments, and dreams of a happier future. 
   
  But while Nastenka waits for the man she already loves, the Dreamer begins imagining a life with her. 
   
  Caught between fantasy and reality, devotion and desire, he must decide whether one perfect moment of happiness can be enough—even when it cannot last. 
   
  Tender, intimate, and quietly devastating, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s *White Nights* is a timeless exploration of loneliness, unrequited love, romantic illusion, and the painful courage required to step beyond the safety of one’s dreams. 
   
  Narrated by Miguel Khoury.

  A rich man's son loses everything and takes work in Chicago as a hand — and then, in October 1871, the city burns for three days. Roe was a Presbyterian minister and a former army chaplain who came to see the ruins, decided the fire needed a novelist, and wrote his first book about it; it sold enormously and he never went back to the pulpit. The fire is eyewitness reporting. Fifty-three plates by painters including John Sloan and Eastman Johnson follow the city from Bleecker Street to Greenwich Village, matching Roe's account of the streets that burned.

  James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born on the 2nd February 1882 in Dublin into a middle-class family, and the eldest of ten surviving siblings 
  Admired as a brilliant student he briefly attended the Christian Brothers-run O'Connell School before excelling at the Jesuit schools of Clongowes and Belvedere.  From there he went on to attend University College Dublin from 1898, studying English, French and Italian 
  In 1902, Joyce was now in his early twenties, and went to Paris to study Medicine but soon abandoned his teachings.  Back in Dublin to attend to his dying Mother he met Nora Barnacle. They bonded immediately into a life-long match. Together they decided to emigrate to Europe.  The couple lived in Trieste, Rome, Paris, and finally Zürich where Joyce pursued a variety of jobs and ventures to supplement his literary pursuits but none of these paid off.  
  After publishing a poetry volume, ‘Chamber Music’, in 1907, his short story collection ‘The Dubliners’, in 1914, helped establish his talent in the rapidly changing world.  
  Although far from home Joyce’s literary heart and works were set in his recollections of Dublin.  Characters are close resemblances of family and friends and indeed enemies.  His landmark work ‘Ulysses’, published in 1922, is set in the streets and alleyways of the city as it parallels Homer’s Odyssey in a variety of styles including its famed stream of consciousness. 
  His pen continued to produce classics of the order of ‘A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man’ and ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ together with several volumes of poetry and a play ‘The Exiles, in 1918.   
  On the 11th January 1941, Joyce underwent surgery in Zürich for a perforated duodenal ulcer. The next day he fell into a coma. On the 13th after a brief period of lucidity in which he called for his wife and son he passed.  He was 58.
