Sinopsis

"White Nights" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a captivating tale of love, longing, and the transient nature of human connection set against the backdrop of the enchanting streets of St. Petersburg. In this poignant novella, the protagonist, a lonely dreamer named the "Dreamer," finds himself wandering the city's deserted boulevards during the luminous summer nights, lost in a world of his own making.

As the Dreamer grapples with his own sense of isolation and existential despair, he unexpectedly encounters a young woman named Nastenka, whose ethereal presence illuminates his solitary existence. Through a series of chance encounters and heartfelt conversations, the Dreamer and Nastenka form a deep and profound bond, forging a connection that transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Against the backdrop of St. Petersburg's picturesque landscapes and vibrant city life, the Dreamer and Nastenka navigate the complexities of love and longing, grappling with the fleeting nature of happiness and the inevitability of loss. Through their shared experiences and intimate confessions, they confront their deepest fears and desires, ultimately discovering a sense of solace and redemption in each other's company.

"White Nights" is a timeless meditation on the human condition, exploring themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in a world marked by impermanence and uncertainty. With its lyrical prose and evocative imagery, Dostoevsky's novella captures the essence of human emotion with rare sensitivity and depth, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a world of beauty, passion, and fleeting moments of connection.

    Twelve years ago, I thought I had everything figured out: I’d go off to college, get my marketing degree, come back to my charming little hometown of Finchley in California’s Gold Country, help my high school sweetheart build his carpentry business, and live happily ever after… 
    Ha! That’s teenage naivety for you. 
    Instead, on the eve of my college departure, Slater Goode (henceforth known as The Devil) ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped all over it. Figuratively.  
    But I don’t care about that anymore. At. All. I have a great life in Chicago… I mean, things aren’t exactly rosy right now, what with my boyfriend slash boss cheating on me, and then losing my job over that little vandalism incident… But that’s just a blip. Things will get better. They have to. I’ll be damned if I’ll be returning home to Finchley with my tail between my legs.  
    But then I get some news: The Devil’s grandfather, whom I love as if he were my own, has passed away in a tragic mishap of the coital nature, and missing his funeral is not an option. 
    Despite my desperate prayers, when I return home I’m appalled to find The Devil has not been the victim of some disfiguring flesh-eating disease. Nope, if anything he’s even hotter. And he’s sweet, and funny, and everything I remember falling for back in high school. But he’s still The Devil who shattered my heart and there’s no way I’ll give him the chance to do it again.  
    Exes with benefits, though? Now that could be an idea… 
    Come visit Finchley, CA, where the sun’s always shining, the locals are always gossiping, and you won’t walk two steps without bumping into a member of the Goode family. If you’re lucky, you might find gold; or, even better…true love.

    A never-before-published early novel and stories by the legendary musician, songwriter, and poet Leonard Cohen 
     
     
     
    The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohen's imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence. The titular novel, A Ballet of Lepers—one he later remarked was "probably a better novel" than his celebrated book The Favourite Game—is a haunting examination of these elements in tandem, focusing on toxic relationships and the lengths to which one will go to maintain them, while the fifteen stories, as well as the playscript, probe the inner demons of his characters, many of whom could function as stand-ins for the author himself. Cohen's work is meditative and surprising, offering playful, provocative, and penetrating glimpses into the world-weary lives of his characters, and a window into the early art of a storytelling master. 
     
     
     
    A Ballet of Lepers, vivid in its detail, unsparing in its gaze, reveals the great artist and visceral genius as never seen before.
