Dostoevsky brings stories of poverty and tragedy, Tolstoy inspires with his fable-like tales, Chekhov`s unmatchable skills are on full display in a story about a female factory owner and the wretched workers, Klavdia Lukashevitch delights with a sweet and surprising tale of a childhood in White Russia, and Mikhail Zoshchenko recounts madcap anecdotes of Christmas trees and Christmas thieves. There is no shortage of vodka or wit on display here, in a collection that proves, with its wonderful variety and remarkable human touch, that Nobody Does Christmas Like the Russians!

"Tfu!" said the fishmonger, looking at the wee old man with disgust. The passengers slid forward on their chairs . . .
