Sinopse

"Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Visit From Saint Nicholas" is a seminal piece of American literature that celebrates the enchantment of Christmas Eve through its whimsical narrative and lyrical style. Written in the form of a poem, Moore's work employs playful rhythms and vivid imagery to transport readers into a magical world where Santa Claus brings joy and wonder to children. Initially published in 1823, this iconic piece not only solidified modern Christmas traditions but also reflected the burgeoning American cultural identity in the 19th century, intertwining folklore with contemporary societal values of family and generosity. Clement Moore, an accomplished scholar and professor at the General Theological Seminary in New York City, penned this beloved poem for his children, embodying his deep affection for family and the Christmas spirit. His background in classical literature and theology informs his ability to weave moral undertones into seemingly simple verses, illustrating a profound understanding of childhood innocence and joy. The poem's enduring appeal can be attributed to Moore's unique blend of humor, warmth, and the transcendence of holiday magic. Highly recommended for readers of all ages, Moore's illustrated edition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" invites you to cherish the warmth of the season while fostering a sense of nostalgia. Its captivating narrative and delightful illustrations breathe life into a classic tale, making it a perfect addition to holiday traditions and a touching gift for families, ensuring that the spirit of Christmas continues to light up generations.

    Zurk by Richard O. Lewis - Gentle Marene was next when the black space cruiser called for its youth-levy. If only Zurk would spark to life—Zurk, this huge, part-human war-machine of tubular steel muscles and blank, mechanical mind. 
    There was both agony and defeat etched deeply into Guyard's lean face as he stood there in the center of the hidden, attic laboratory. His fists were clinched tightly at his sides and his hollow eyes were staring tensely and with supplication at the steel monstrosity before him. 
    "Zurk, you must save her!" he pleaded. "You must save Marene!" 
    Zurk, the man of steel, made no move. He sat there expressionless, his electric-cell eyes staring out through the small window at the far end of the laboratory. 
    Year after year, the steel giant had sat there staring through that window, staring out into dim, perpetual daylight that always enveloped that half of the moon which kept its face constantly toward Jupiter. 
    Week after week and month after month, Guyard had stood before the giant, had stood there hurling thought-waves into the brain, but to no avail. Something was wrong somewhere within the intricate mechanism, some trouble he could not locate. 
    Nervous and shaken, he stood there glaring into the expressionless eyes. There were but a scant two weeks left. Then the evil creatures from the Land of Darkness on the other side of the moon would come to claim Marene. 
    Desperation gave power to Guyard's tired brain. "Zurk!" His eyes blazed into the giant's with a final effort. "Move your head!" 
    For a brief instant, Guyard was certain that a feeble thought-wave had tried to penetrate his own brain; he thought he caught a faint glow in the eyes. 
    Then he wheeled quickly at the sound of a step upon the ladder up to the trap-door in the floor. His hand flashed to the gun at his belt, and he waited tensely.
