Beschreibung

The Christmas Child is a poignant narrative that interweaves themes of redemption, compassion, and the innocence of childhood through the eyes of a young orphan. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Stretton's prose is both lyrical and accessible, reflecting the moral imperatives of her time while appealing to a broad audience. The novella encapsulates the spirit of Christmas, portraying the transformative power of love and selflessness, an echo of the prevailing sentimentality that characterized much of the literature of the period. The richness of Stretton's character development and her evocative descriptions invite readers to reflect on the deeper meanings of Christmas beyond mere commercialism. Hesba Stretton, born into a working-class family, was influenced by her own experiences of poverty and social issues prevalent in the 19th century, informing her writing with a deep sense of empathy. Stretton, a prolific author and social reformer, often illuminated the struggles of the underprivileged, and The Christmas Child serves as a testament to her commitment to championing children's rights and welfare. Her genuine passion for social equity resonates throughout the narrative, offering readers an authentic perspective on charity and community. This enchanting tale is a must-read for anyone seeking to reconnect with the essence of Christmas. Its timeless themes make it relevant for contemporary readers, reminding us of the importance of kindness and generosity during the holiday season. Readers of all ages will find inspiration in Stretton's heartfelt storytelling, making The Christmas Child a treasured addition to one's literary collection.

    The First Man on the Moon by Alfred Coppel - John Thurmon swore he'd be the first man on the moon. But he wasn't. He was only the first murderer. 
    The ship lay at a crazy angle on the stark whiteness of the pumice plain. The rocket nozzles were a fused lump of slag; the fire-darkened hull crumpled and warped by the impact of landing. And there was silence ... complete and utter silence. 
    There could be no return. Thurmon realized this. At first the thought had brought panic, but, as the scope of his achievement dawned on him, the fear retreated. Bruised, giddy, half-crazed ... the certainty of death held no terrors. Not yet. And it was worth it! Fame ... immortality! Glory ... in return for the last few years of a blighted, embittered, over-shadowed life. Yes, it was well worth it. And, except for the crash-landing and the certainty of no return, it had all come to pass just as he had planned it for so long. 
    On his knees he caressed the gritty soil. He lifted his arms toward the Day Star flaming in the day-night of space and knew completion. Tears streaked his stubbled face, and strange noises came from his slack mouth. The ecstasy of success was almost unbearable. For this, he had labored a lifetime. For this, he had murdered a friend.... 
    Across the abyss, the whole world waited for word. The transmitter in the rocket had survived the crash. The word would come, thought Thurmon ... when he was ready to send it. And sending it, he would place the official seal of immortality on his brow. The book would close. But wonderfully, satisfyingly. There would be no other to steal his rightful glory. Only Wayne could have done that ... and Wayne was dead. He laughed weirdly within his helmet. So simply done!

    Nobody Saw the Ship by Murray Leinster - It was only a tiny scout ship from somewhere beyond the stars; only one alien creature occupied it. But the ship's mission spelled life to its fellow creatures and death to all living creatures on Earth. And against the super-science of the raider stood one terrified old man and his dog.... 
    The landing of the Qul-En ship, a tiny craft no more than fifteen feet in diameter, went completely unnoticed, as its operator intended. It was armed, of course, but its purpose was not destruction. If this ship, whose entire crew consisted of one individual, were successful in its mission then a great ship would come, wiping out the entire population of cities before anyone suspected the danger. 
    But this lone Qul-En was seeking a complex hormone substance which Qul-En medical science said theoretically must exist, but the molecule of which even the Qul-En could not synthesize directly. Yet it had to be found, in great quantity; once discovered, the problem of obtaining it would be taken up, with the resources of the whole race behind it. But first it had to be found.
