Produktbeschreibung
In the illustrated edition of "Twas the Night before Christmas," Clement Clarke Moore presents a timeless Christmas classic that has enchanted readers since its first publication in 1823. The poem deftly combines whimsical imagery and rhythmic language to vividly portray the anticipation and excitement of Christmas Eve. Moore's masterful use of anapestic tetrameter and his picturesque descriptions of Santa Claus, sleighs, and the 'jolly old elf' reflect the burgeoning American holiday culture of the early 19th century, establishing many of the traditions we celebrate today. Clement Clarke Moore, a prominent figure in early American literature, was deeply influenced by his upbringing and his own family's holiday traditions. As a professor of literature and a scholar of classical languages, he infused his work with both intellect and warmth. His own experiences with Christmas customs, coupled with a desire to surpass the grim narratives surrounding the season, inspired him to pen this delightful verse, which ultimately became a cornerstone of American Christmas folklore. This beautifully illustrated edition of "Twas the Night before Christmas" is a perfect addition for readers of all ages. It is not only a seasonal favorite but also a cultural artifact that captures the spirit of Christmas. Immerse yourself in Moore's enchanting world and discover the joy and magic that continue to resonate through generations.
