Dostoevsky's: "White Nights" and Other Stories
Just saw Two Lovers (a very good movie) and was reminded of Dostoevsky's "White Nights", on which the story is loosely based.

But, amazingly, the "White Nights" collection doesn't turn up after an admittedly cursory search.

Is this collection available in ebook format somewhere?

Thanks for the pointer, poohbear_nc.

I bought it, but unfortunately, it is unreadable. It looks like someone ran OCR and never proofed it: tons of weird characters, unrecognizable "words," original headers in the middle of the text, etc..

At least it's cheap.... (but not worth it, even for free )

You can find a readable copy of White Nights here:

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/White_Nights

It is broken up into separate sections so you will have to cut and paste if you want to make an ebook.

* First Night
* Second Night
* Nastenka's Story
* Third Night
* Fourth Night
* Morning

Sorry for the disappointment. This is why I now ALWAYS look at a sample before buying anything from Amazon.
