BOŽICNE I NOVOGODIŠNJE PRICE 2 - Grupa Autora

... It is therefore not surprising that in December there is a deep-rooted human need for a miracle, for kindness and love. And as the well-known romantic German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, in Krcko Orašićić, says that the transition from gloomy reality to the wildest, wildest and most divine fantasy is possible at any moment, so we can use these stories to endure but also to summarize the difficult reality: let worries and darkness be the stage for the greatest miracles and beauty. The metamorphosis of darkness into dazzling light is the beauty of the Christian holiday, Christmas. On the stage of the December celebration, every imaginative soul can leave their gift: gentle words and ideas and pictures for distant, carefree worlds, where some streams of wine or lemonade flow and where candy houses are buzzing around. For distant worlds, where things and beings also have a musical reality. Even so, in this life woven from losses and roughness. Turning the suffering of lost love into the thought of a dream and justice, or, at least, into a dream. It can also be Christmas: comfort and forgiveness for the injustices that the world or a loved one has given us. Let this day be fairytale and magical, and bring us back to our childhood dream.

In addition to Hoffmann, there are stories by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, Dickens, Irving, Nabokov, Andersen, Kuprin, Gorky, Zoshchenko, Twain, O Henry, Willa Kader, Louisa May Alcott and many others...

...It is important that we try to keep Christmas, as a part of humanity, and let this book be one of those attempts.
