Beschreibung
The Story of the Other Wise Man by an American religious writer, lecturer, and clergyman, Henry Van Dyke. This is one of his most famous short stories, which, like many of his other works, centered around moral and religious themes.
During the time of the birth of Jesus, a fourth Wise Man, Artaban, sells all his possessions to buy three precious jewels which he hopes to present to the newborn Christ Child. Although he planned to journey with the other three Magi to Bethlehem, he is delayed and fails to rendezvous with them.
Artaban spends his whole life searching for Christ, and in his search he gives away one, then two, and finally all three of his jewels to help others, but in the end his quest is fulfilled in unexpected ways. Although written more than a century ago, this is still a topical Christmas story for young and old that captures the true spirit of Christmas.
