Christmas, the beginning of Christmastide, is one of the most important holidays in the Russian calendar. This wondrous time, when one year follows another, is filled with hope that all sorrows are behind us, and that goodness and justice will prevail in the future.

Belief in miracles permeates the works of Russian classics of the 19th and early 20th centuries, collected in this book. L. N. Tolstoy, F. M. Dostoevsky, N. S. Leskov, A. P. Chekhov, N. A. Leikin, A. I. Kuprin, and others, creating the finest examples of the Christmas story genre, captured the atmosphere and traditions of Christmas and New Year celebrations in pre-revolutionary Russia—in large cities and villages, in luxurious mansions and the homes of the poor. The works of émigré writers Ivan Bunin, Sasha Cherny, and Ivan Shmelev evoke a nostalgia for a bygone era: memories of Christmas holidays are inseparable from memories of the former Russia.

The collection's design features vintage postcards and illustrations from periodicals from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Addressed to a wide audience, the book makes a wonderful New Year and Christmas gift.
