РОЖДЕСТВЕНСКИЕ (зачеркнуто) НОВОГОДНИЕ КНИГИ
Понятия рождества в нашей семье не было. Точнее, мы праздновали с бабушкой рождество 7 января, но главным праздником оставался Новый год, ночь с 31-го декабря на 1-е января. И когда в литературе встречался образ рождества, в голове всплывала новогодняя ночь, Дед Мороз, Снегурочка и елка с подарками.
Сегодня любимые новогодние книги, особенно переводные, воспринимаются по-другому. Память уже хранит историю религии, верования других стран, понятие рождества. «Дары волхвов» уже не просто странное название. И даже сейчас эти книги остаются волшебными.
????Э. Гофман «Щелкунчик и Мышиный король»
????О. Генри «Дары волхвов», «Елка с сюрпризом»
????Ч. Диккенс «Рождественская песнь в прозе»
????С. Войцеховски «Рождественское чудо мистера Туми»
????С. Маршак «12 месяцев»
????Н. Гоголь «Ночь перед Рождеством»
????У. Шекспир "Двенадцатая ночь"
Позже появился «Санта-Хрякус» Терри Пратчетта с его восхитительным:
“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY.”
И я согласна - нужно научиться верить в маленькую ложь, такую как Дед Мороз и Новый год, чтобы потом поверить в большую: сострадание, справедливость и все остальное.
Поэтому перечитываю их каждый год, в декабре, когда кажется, что чуда уже не будет.

CHRISTMAS (crossed out) NEW YEAR BOOKS
There was no concept of Christmas in our family. More precisely, we celebrated Christmas with our grandmother on January 7, but the New Year, the night from December 31 to January 1, remained the main holiday. And when the image of Christmas was found in literature, New Year's Eve, Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden and the Christmas tree popped up in my head.
Today's favorite New Year's books, especially translated ones, are perceived differently. Memory already stores the history of religion, the beliefs of other countries, the concept of Christmas. "Gifts of the Magi" is no longer just a strange name. And even now, these books remain magical.
???? e. Hoffmann The Nutcracker and the Mouse King
????ABOUT. Henry "Gifts of the Magi", "Christmas Tree with a Surprise"
???? h. Dickens "Christmas Carol in Prose"
????WITH. Wojciechowski “Christmas miracle of Mr. Tumi”
????WITH. Marshak "12 months"
???? N. Gogol "The Night Before Christmas"
???? U. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
Terry Pratchett's Santa Cruz later appeared with his delicious:
“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need ... fantasies to make life bearable. "
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET — Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME ... SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY. ”
And I agree - you need to learn to believe in a small lie, such as Santa Claus and the New Year, then to believe in a big one: compassion, justice, and everything else.
Therefore, I re-read them every year, in December, when it seems that the miracle will be gone.
