Petersburg’un kısa yaz geceleri… Gökyüzü henüz kararmamışken şehrin sokaklarında gezinen bir hayalperest, tesadüfen tanıştığı genç bir kadınla dört gece boyunca konuşur. Bu karşılaşma, ikisinin de hayatında derin izler bırakacak bir içsel yolculuğa dönüşür. Beyaz Geceler, Dostoyevski’nin en lirik, en duygusal eserlerinden biridir. Yalnızlığın sızısını, umutla umutsuzluk arasındaki ince çizgiyi, insan kalbinin kırılganlığını ustalıkla işler.

Bir salonun loş ışığında başlayan, masum görünen bir sohbet… Ardından hızla büyüyen yanlış anlamalar, gururun ve kırılgan egoların tetiklediği bir dizi komik ama acıtan olay… Başkasının Karısı, Dostoyevski’nin ince mizahını, keskin gözlemlerini ve insan karakterine dair derin bilgisini ortaya koyan kısa ama etkili bir anlatıdır. Burada ihanet, aşk ya da evlilik yalnızca birer tema değil; asıl mesele, insanların birbirlerine nasıl baktıkları, kendi kusurlarını başkalarında nasıl gördükleridir.

È stato uno tra gli scrittori più originali degli Stati Uniti, la penna più folle e coraggiosa degli ultimi decenni. Non solo autore di grandi opere narrative, ma anche - come in questo libro - osservatore finissimo, dotato di uno sguardo totale, capace di attraversare un continente e restituirne ogni dettaglio, voce, piega di dolore e significato.
