Beschreibung

Never out of print since its initial appearance in 1843, A Christmas Carol has been adapted countless times to the stage, radio, television, film and opera. The selfish miser Scrooge's name has become synonymous with greed and indifference to the welfare of others. His immortal Christmas eve visitations by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come have become a cultural fixture and a fundamental part of the Christmas Holidays around the world.
A Christmas Carol was conceived by the author with the deliberate intent of shaking his audience with an emotional tale designed to inspire compassion and charity toward the disadvantaged, especially children. Scrooge's surreal, spellbinding journey into the meaning of Christmas, with its climactic insistence that a life lived without love and charity is no life at all, provides readers with one of literature's finest, most unforgettable entertainments while celebrating the good in humanity and providing the world with the most cherished Christmas story ever written.

Portrait

Charles Dickens was one of the greatest and most popular novelists of the nineteenth century, a writer whose fiction combined unforgettable characters, social criticism, comedy, sentiment, melodrama, and fierce moral anger. Born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812, Dickens experienced financial insecurity and child labor in his youth, experiences that helped shape his lifelong concern with poverty, injustice, childhood suffering, debt, prisons, bureaucracy, and the failures of respectable society.His major works include The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Hard Times, Little Dorrit, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and Our Mutual Friend. Dickens was also a master of serial publication, building vast casts and interlocking plots that kept readers waiting for each new installment. In Bleak House, he brought together legal satire, mystery, Gothic atmosphere, and social indictment in one of his most complex achievements. His work remains central to readers of classic fiction, Victorian literature, social novels, legal satire, and the history of popular storytelling.
