New Year's Stories. Tales of Russian Writers

According to ancient beliefs, the moment of the New Year erases for a short time the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. On this magical night, miracles happen — people dream awake, peek into the future and argue with the devil, and most importantly — they wait for the star of new hope to light up. The traditions of cheerful caroling and holiday stories were supported by many Russian writers, including Gogol, Leskov, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov. Funny and instructive, sad and touching — their Christmas works will not leave you indifferent. After all, on such a night, anything can happen! The design of this limited edition of the Bright Pages series is inspired by the artistic craft of Khokhloma and the famous Russian troika.
