The time of Christmas and Yuletide is a time of miracles. This book speaks of miracles in the language of the Silver Age.
And then a shaggy, fir-tree-like wood goblin peers through the window of a village school. The hooves of the Christmas Lady's donkey tread across the winter clouds. An ordinary shaggy mongrel saves a newborn baby from the darkness and cold of a winter night, and a tiny puppy dispels the horror swirling around a strong adult. In the frosty twilight, one can easily wander into Bethlehem, and King Solomon's circle reveals the whole truth to those who know how to ask—that's what Christmastide is for.
In the poems of poets of this time, blizzards roar, light sleighs rush, angels and wizards come to children, and the Magi and shepherds, under the light of the Christmas star, rush to the cave where the Savior was born that night.
This collection is like an antique Christmas tree ornament: it shimmers with the mystery of another era—a kind and warm light. Just look a little closer, and it will point the way to a true Christmas fairy tale.
This book contains works dedicated to Christmas and the Holy Week by A. Blok, S. Yesenin, G. Ivanov, L. Andreyev, V. Bryusov, A. Averchenko, I. Shmelev, V. Khodasevich, M. Tsvetaeva, A. Grin, V. Nikiforov-Volgin, V. Ivanov, V. Nemirovich-Danchenko, Sasha Cherny, Don Aminado, and Teffi.
