White Nights & Other Stories


HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. I am a dreamer; I have so little real life that I look upon such moments as this now, as so rare, that I cannot help going over such moments again in my dreams. ‘White Nights’ is the bittersweet story of a lonely young man’s love found and lost over four magical midsummer evenings in St. Petersburg. This collection brings together seven of Dostoyevsky’s beloved short stories, including 'Bobok', an eavesdrop on the conversations of the dead, 'An Unpleasant Predicament', which follows a brazen wedding-crasher, and 'The Crocodile', in which a man is gobbled up at the Arcade. This selection of tales bring to life the cunning wives, buffoonish officials, greedy men and political prisoners of imperial Russia, showcasing Dostoyevsky’s dry wit – both absurd and satirical – while revealing his deep compassion. Considered one of the most influential writers of all time, his empathy and idealism resonates today as a powerful antidote to the disillusionment of modern life. A selection of Dostoyevsky's short stories: White Nights The Crocodile A Novel in Nine Letters An Unpleasant Predicament The Peasant Marey Bobok A Christmas Tree and a Wedding A Gentle Spirit

Love at First Sighting


A chance at love might not be out of this world in this astronomically charming romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of Love and Other Conspiracies. Los Angeles social media influencer El Martin seems to have a picture-perfect life. But what El wants more than anything is to find something real to make her heart race in a way it hasn't in years. She doesn't expect that feeling to come from capturing footage of an unidentified flying . . . thing, much less from the charming Man in Black who keeps following her around. Agent Carter Brody is trying his best to keep the Private Intelligence Sector afloat by dragging their hopelessly out-of-date office into this century, even though what he really wants to do is follow in his father's footsteps by identifying and hiding extraterrestrial sightings. He gets his chance after being assigned to El's case and is stopped in his tracks not only by her ingenuity and confidence but also by an unnerving coincidence-her sighting looks eerily like what Carter himself saw right before a family tragedy. The deeper El and Carter fall into the mystery, the harder it is for them to ignore their growing chemistry as their own alien feelings become dangerously terrestrial.
