內容簡介




《聖誕禮物》



  一對貧窮但相愛的夫妻,因為沒有錢為對方買特別的聖誕禮物,所以各自賣掉他們最珍貴的物品,來購買給對方的聖誕禮物:太太賣了她引以為傲的秀髮,為她的先生買了白金錶鍊;而先生賣掉他的金錶為太太買了髮釵。僅管這對夫妻各自捨棄了珍愛的物品,卻收到的錢買不到的珍貴聖誕禮物──愛。



《樅樹》



  一棵小樅樹一直不滿於現狀,渴望離開森林,終有一天他被砍下,離開森林成為一棵聖誕樹。在體驗了莊嚴炫麗的聖誕夜之後,他被遺棄在閣樓裡,感到很孤單。一日,當他了解到原本在森林裡單純美好的快樂生活,他決心要感謝現狀。然而卻為時已晚,他已乾枯,被園丁劈成材,丟進爐火中燒盡。





 

作者介紹




作者簡介



O. Henry歐.亨利(1862-1910)




  歐‧亨利是美國短篇小說家,原名William Sidney Porter,他一生從事過多種職業,包括簿記員、藥劑師、製圖師和記者等。1896年時被控盜用金錢而入獄,在獄中他開始寫作短篇小說,出獄後移居紐約,創作了近三百篇短篇小說。



  他的創作靈感大多取自居住過或拜訪過的地區,作品通俗易懂,擅長描繪美國社會百姓的小人物生活,其筆觸幽默,故事劇情構思精巧,故事結局往往出人意料,也說明了生命中有許多不確定性,會誘發人性中的善與惡。



Hans Christian Andersen安徒生(1805-1875)



  安徒生為丹麥著名作家,自幼便富想像力。十一歲時,父親因病去世,母親染上酗酒習慣,他被迫輟學去當織工和裁縫學徒。1819年,安徒生開始寫作,他閱讀大量名家如哥德、拜倫的作品,學習創作詩篇和劇本,並於1822年發表作品《嘗試集》(Ghost at Palnatoke's Grave),但未獲劇院採用。



  1829年,安徒生首度以《阿馬格島漫遊記》(A journey on foot from Holmens Canal to the east point of Amager)一嚐成功滋味。該書首刷便銷售一空,安徒生從此脫離貧窮的陰影。同年四月,他的喜劇〈在尼古拉耶夫塔上的愛情〉(Love in Nicolai Tower)於皇家歌劇院上演。真正讓安徒生成名的作品,則是1835年出版的小說《即興詩人》(The Improvisatore),甫一出版即被譯為德、英兩種語言,使他成為享譽國際的作家。可惜在這之後的作品銷售量不盡理想,1837年,長篇小說《不過是個提琴手》(Only a Fiddler)問世,安徒生才又重獲文壇認同。



  此後,安徒生遊歷歐洲各國,發表許多遊記,並開始創作童話故事,以自身經歷與旅行所見所聞,花費近四十年的時間,陸續出版至今仍耳熟能詳的作品。他的童話約有一百六十餘篇,體裁多樣,充滿豐富想像力,語言生動自然,不但被譯成多國語言,也成為電影、芭蕾舞劇與動畫的製作題材。



  安徒生因童話贏得舉世聲譽,榮獲國家授予丹麥國旗勳章。1875年,一代童話大師逝世。丹麥政府收購其幼年居住的小屋,興建「安徒生紀念館」以資紀念。1913年,雕塑家艾里克森(Edrard Erichsen)根據〈小美人魚〉故事,完成遠眺大海的美人魚雕像,成為哥本哈根的重要地標。
