  "Christmas Eve"  is the first story in the second volume of the collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol.
  The story opens with a description of the winter scenery of Dikanka, Ukraine, a witch flying across the night sky and the devil stealing the moon and hiding it in his pocket, first playing with it in the sky, which no one in the village notices. Since it is the night before Christmas, the devil is free to roam around and torment people as he pleases, so he decides to find a way to get back at the village blacksmith, Vakula, because he paints religious art in the church...
  The story is set in on Christmas Eve in the small Ukranian town of Dikanka. Since it's the night before Christmas, the devil is allowed to roam free in town. He steals the moon, which at first no one notices. Then he sets out to ruin the love interest of Vakula, the town blacksmith, who is hopelessly in love with the beautiful Oksana. The devil has a vendetta against Vakula because he also moonlights as an icon painter who had created mocking pictures of the devil. The devil finds an ally in Vakula's mother (a witch) who wants to marry Oksana's father. She fears that if her son marries Oksana, her love chances will be ruined.

  Twenty Thousand Leagues Under...

  Jules Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation was markedly different in the Anglosphere where he had often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed. Since the 1980s, his literary reputation has improved.
  VOLUME 2: We now come to the second part of our journey under the sea.
  The first ended with the moving scene in the coral cemetery which left such a deep impression on my mind. Thus, in the midst of this great sea, Captain Nemo's life was passing, even to his grave, which he had prepared in one of its deepest abysses.

  A Christmas Tree

  "I have been looking at a real Christmas tree, which stood in the middle of a great round table."
  
  Before the world knew the full breadth of his holiday legacy, Charles Dickens penned this enchanting "meditation" on the centerpiece of the Victorian home. A Christmas Tree is not a traditional narrative, but a brilliant stream-of-consciousness exploration of memory. Looking upon the glittering branches of a tree, Dickens takes the reader on a nostalgic tour of the toys, the stories, and the spectral shadows that define our earliest holiday experiences.
  
  A Toybox of the Imagination: Dickens vividly recreates the wonder of a child's world. He describes the "tumbling" dolls, the magic lanterns, and the leaden soldiers that once sparked his own imagination. Through his prose, we see the tree not just as a decoration, but as a living record of our growth—from the tangible excitement of childhood play to the more reflective, often haunting, memories of adulthood.
  
  Ghosts of Christmas Past: In typical Dickensian fashion, the light of the tree is balanced by the shadows of the fire. The story delves into the "ghost stories" that were once an essential part of the midwinter tradition. Dickens reminds us that the holiday season is a time for remembering those who are no longer at the table, blending warmth with a poignant, Gothic sensibility that is uniquely his own.
  
  Experience the heart of the holidays through the eyes of a master. Purchase "A Christmas Tree" today and rediscover the timeless magic of the season.
