Dostoevsky tells the story of a lonely, dreamy young man who fights his loneliness with long, nocturnal walks on the banks of the Neva. During one of these walks, he meets Nastenka, a 17-year-old girl waiting for her fiancé, and decides to keep him company. The young man immediately falls in love and is already planning for the future, convinced that he has finally found great love.
I would not reveal anything about the plot of this short story, which I found romanticism sometimes exacerbated. I struggled to get into this novel, but I focused on his two tortured characters as soon as the dialogue began.
