内容简介
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Now joining Everyman'sLibrary--the most extensive and distinguished collectible libraryof the world's greatest works--is an appealing new collection in asmall Pocket Classics format, perfect for gift giving and readingpleasure. "Christmas Stories" is a treasury of short fiction bygreat writers of the past two centuries--from Dickens and Tolstoyto John Updike and Alice Munro. As a literary subject, Christmashas inspired everything from intimate domestic dramas to fancifulflights of the imagination, and the full range of its expression isrepresented in this wonderfully engaging anthology. Goblins frolicin the graveyard of an early Dickens tale and a love-struck ghostdisrupts a country estate in Elizabeth Bowen's "Green Holly." Theplight of the less fortunate haunts Chekhov's "Vanka" and WillaCather's "The Burglar's Christmas" but takes a boisterously comicturn in Damon Runyon's "Dancing Dan's Christmas" and in JohnCheever's "Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor." From VladimirNabokov's intensely moving story of a father's grief in "Christmas"to Truman Capote's hilarious yet heartbreaking "A ChristmasMemory," from Grace Paley's Jewish girl starring in the Christmaspageant in "The Loudest Voice" to the dysfunctional family skiholiday in Richard Ford's "Creche"--each of the stories gatheredhere is imbued with Christmas spirit (of one kind or another), andall are richly and indelibly entertaining.
