Sinossi

In 'Classics for Christmas,' the enchanting power of timeless literature converges to celebrate the festive spirit through a medley of captivating stories, poignant poetry, and enduring legends. Spanning a panorama of literary styles, this anthology traverses the evocative landscapes of Dickensian narrative, the humor-laden satire of Twain, the magical realism of Hoffman and Barrie, and the stirring verse of Wordsworth and Yeats. The collection's diversity mirrors the multifaceted traditions of Christmas, inviting readers into realms where holiday cheer, introspection, and human connection intertwine seamlessly. The anthology curates a remarkable gathering of literary titans whose voices, though emanating from varied historical and cultural milieus, unite in their exploration of universal themes associated with Christmas. The artistic craft of Shakespeare and the moral vigor of Tolstoy illuminate the enduring human spirit, while the folkloric richness of the Brothers Grimm and Andersen invoke the deep-seated enchantment of holiday lore. The writers, from different epochs and regions, collectively enrich an exploration of narrative tradition, reflecting the euphoria, challenges, and introspective journeys embedded in the holiday experience. 'Classics for Christmas' offers a profound opportunity for readers to immerse themselves in a tapestry of cultural heritage. As a scholarly companion, it invites exploration of the world's myriad literary traditions and their reflections on the human condition. The collection's educational potential is matched by its power to spark dialogue and reflection, making it an essential companion for anyone seeking to understand the timeless allure of Christmas through the lens of classic literature, all housed within a single, remarkable volume.

    ADVANCE PRAISE FOR TRANSACTIONS WITH THE FALLEN 
    "Michael Elcock's stories enchant, disturb and remind us of the many worlds we inhabit. Touching on intimate moments and interactions, not a lot happens in these intertwined tales, and that is precisely their strength. A young man sits with an older woman one evening and learns about love. A soldier coaxes music out of a battered piano in an attempt to stay alive. Transactions with the Fallen is a study of human relationships told with an exacting eye for detail and the resonant moment." ---Eve Joseph, Griffin Poetry Prize Winner, 2019 
    "There's a lot to be learned from other people's childhoods---and from other people's adulthoods too, if they've been lucky enough to have one. When they're luckier still, there's a lot to be learned from other people's imaginations. In this remarkable book of stories, Michael Elcock offers us the fruits of all three: a rich, multifaceted childhood, a robust, thoughtful adulthood, and a lively, athletic imagination." ---Robert Bringhurst, author, poet, and recipient of the British Columbia Lieutenant Governor's Award for Literary Excellence
