Why You Should Read "White Nights" by Dostoyevsky
Фильм және анимация
This video would not be possible without referencing the work of @hippiasminor6264 , who makes the correlation between Dostoyevsky's style and Gogol's quote on the impossibility of writing how someone thinks clear in his own video on "Poor Folk." They also site Joseph Frank as a scholar and references him multiple times. Joseph Frank's work for the Princeton University Press was also invaluable to me in collecting the information presented here.
Occasionally my voiceover diverges slightly from the text presented on screen. In these cases, the screen text given is always the accurate version.

The way the man talked to Nastenka was not an exaggeration, but it was his way of healing himself from long time of loneliness.. Good video!
Read this book during years of innocence, understood little. Thanks for your work 🙏.
So, even if you get friend zoned, remember the good times? Amazing video btw.
I love how soothing this video was! it made me want to read more works to Dostoevsky from before his imprisonment! Thank you for the review!

I intend to do much more audio content in the future! A full reproduction of white nights (or other dostoyevsky works) is certainly in the cards.

Thanks and welcome!
Great video, thank you! I agree with you. Gogol's language is vital, and as you point out, reached Dostoyevsky before Siberia.
Good video
🥰
Very nice commentary but would have liked a little more analysis.

An understandable wish. If you are interested @hippiasminor6264 has a full length audiobook with more analysis than I put in!
