New Year's and Other Winter Tales by Russian Writers

The long Russian winter with Epiphany frosts, blizzards, and snowstorms that threaten danger to man, long dark evenings filled with stories of the past and Christmas tales, is vividly reflected in Russian literature. In many works, a significant motif is the affirmation of Christian virtues.

This collection includes tales by Russian writers, both well-known and lesser-known, united by the theme of New Year and Christmas.
