The story of the Savior’s birth is not just an ancient miraculous tale. It exists in eternity, never ends, and always continues. A story with a thousand faces. The anthology Christmas Classics presents the Ukrainian faces of this thousand. It gathers Christmas prose — primarily Christmas and Christmas Eve stories — written at different times by different people: men and women with different fates and worldviews, with various creative intentions, who lived a hundred years ago and live among us today. That’s why these works are so diverse: sad and joyful, devout and secular, realistic and fantastical, instructive and entertaining, philosophical, psychological, purely aesthetic… Together, they tell the story of Christmas — our Christmas. The eternal story of the birth of light and its triumph over darkness. The anthology contains 60 works by 18 classic and 7 contemporary Ukrainian authors. Stories by Larisa Denysenko, Maryna Hrymych, Nadiyka Herbish, Lyubko Deresh, and Hanna Osadko were written specifically for this edition.
