Sinossi

Lose Yourself in the Ghostly Glow of a St. Petersburg Summer.

In the ethereal twilight of the Russian "White Nights," a lonely young man—known only as the Dreamer—wanders the deserted streets of St. Petersburg. His solitary existence is suddenly transformed when he saves a young woman, Nastenka, from an unwanted pursuer. Over the course of four hauntingly beautiful nights, the two strangers share their deepest secrets, hopes, and heartbreaks.

Fyodor Dostoevsky's White Nights is a profound exploration of the human heart's capacity for both intense joy and crushing isolation. As the Dreamer emerges from his world of shadows to experience a fleeting brush with real love, Dostoevsky masterfully captures the bittersweet transition from youth to disillusionment.

This definitive edition presents one of Dostoevsky's most lyrical and accessible works. Subtitled "A Sentimental Story from the Diary of a Dreamer," this novella remains a timeless meditation on the beauty of a single moment of happiness and the enduring power of memory.

Experience the magic of the midnight sun. Buy "White Nights" today and discover the soul of Russian literature.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon...

Edgar Allan Poe

Rum, a sailing ship, and a dare…   …What could go wrong?   Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first adventure stories set in and around the Antarctic, which at the time was a place of mystery and the unknown.   Pym takes us on an adventure across the seas to uncharted southern lands that are fraught with danger. With shipwrecks, murder, mutiny, and, yes, cannibalism, this tale has it all. First published in 1838, midway between Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Poe’s Pym echoes one and presages the other while delving even deeper into the darkness of men’s souls.   This new edition, with a new Foreword by New York Times best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, brings the classic tale back to life. Not for the faint of heart, Poe’s novel, which inspired H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, and many others, reflects the wonder and dangers of exploring the unknown.

Blessed Are the Meek - From...

Mary Webb

Mary Gladys Meredith was born on 25th March 1881 at Leighton Lodge in the village of Leighton, near Shrewsbury in Shropshire.
Mary was home-schooled by her father before being sent to a finishing school in Southport in 1895. Her longs walks in the countryside helped her develop a heightened sense of observation and description, of both people and places, which later infused both her poetry and prose.
When she was 20 she developed symptoms of Graves' disease, a thyroid disorder that caused bulging protuberant eyes and throat goitre. This caused life-long ill health and was a possible contributor to her early death.
Mary was first published as a teenager when her brother sent to a local newspaper her poem on a recent rail accident. Mary, who was in the habit of destroying her work was appalled though placated when she discovered that it had received some positive appreciation in readers letters.
1912 brought marriage to Henry Bertram Law Webb, a teacher. He supported her literary work which, in 1917, resulted in the publication of her novel ‘The Golden Arrow.’
A few years later they acquired a property in London where, it was hoped, recognition of her literary talents would be more easily recognised.
Her 1924 novel, ‘Precious Bane’, won the Prix Femina Vie Heureuse, the prestigious French literary prize awarded by an all-female jury.
Most of her poetry and various other works were only published after her death.
By 1927 her health was deteriorating and her marriage failing.
Mary Webb died on 8th October 1927 at St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex. She was 46.
