For many people New Year holidays are also a great opportunity to forget about their working routine, to relax and enjoy the comfort and warmth of home. What can be better than staying at home, covering with a warm blanket, reading your favorite book and drinking a cup of tea? Winter is the real time to read books that are able to transfer you to a world full of New Year and Christmas miracles.

"Armedia" IAA presents 5 top New Year books that we consider to be the best for winter holidays:

 

5. Charles Dickens "Stories for Christmas"

It is said that as far as the snow is coming and the Christmas tree is shining, people will continue reading "Christmas Stories". In these fairy-tales about ghosts, miracles and honest people deep psychology and well thought passions are hidden.

 

 

4. Markus Zusak "The Book Thief"

"Book thief is not a thief." Have you ever interested in what supernatural forces think about human thoughts and actions? For example, the Death. How can it tell about a little girl living in Nazi Germany, her books and Jews?Zusaki’s Death can tell. Only do not expect too much violence, hatred and unhappiness. This story is saturated with kindness, snowflakes, children's wisdom and love. "The Book Thief" is not a thief, but one of the best winter readings.

 

 

 

3. John R. R. Martin "A Song of Ice and Fire"

If your street has suddenly appeared under the white snow, ravens are bringing  letters about long vacations from afar, and the palaces of Port Royal are thinking about seizing the Iron Throne, then "winter is coming." The long vacations are the right time to delve deep into Martin's epic story.

 

 

2. Haruki Murakami "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World"

Of course, we do not want to fully cover you with snow in this winter weather. Surely, we want to give you an interesting, very interesting story, for example, about a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters. Only one should not forget what there is, when everything ends…

 

 

 

1. Elias Lönnrot "The Kalevala"

You can learn songs from trees, stones, rivers, you can learn new words and with these words defeat the evil. Old and kind Väinämöinen, a heroic artificer Ilmarinen and arrogant and reckless Lemminkäinen will be with you during the whole epic. The Finnish epic is born of winter and snow. "Kalevala" will please not only adults but also children, because this is a great and endless joy when the good wins.
