Dostoevsky, Fyodor
The Heavenly Christmas Tree
'The Heavenly Christmas Tree' is a short story by Dostoevsky that very much resembles Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Match Girl'.
In St. Petersburg, on Christmas Eve, a poor boy wakes up in a damp and gloomy cellar, oblivious to the tragedy that has befallen his poverty-stricken family. The boy's meandering through the cold, empty streets while looking thorugh windows into the warm interiors of houses depicts a rather horrific and shiveringly depressive picture of sadness and inevitability. The story offers sharp social criticism and speaks for the voiceless. Above all, it remains a compelling and unforgettable short read.
