A Christmas Carol

By Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol is an everlasting classic that describes the story of a miserly, horrible man called Ebenezer Scrooge and his journey towards the path of salvation. The story revolves around Scrooge's hatred for Christmas. It tells us about those who are not as fortunate as him. On the Christmas Eve, three spirits who take Scrooge on a journey through time visit him and help him realise the kind of person he has transformed over time, and the impact of his actions on others. A Christmas Carol tells us the spirit of Christmas through a story of self-realisation, making readers believe that there is a Christmas miracle truly.
on, on the night of Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold-hearted and old miser refuses his nephew's invitation for Christmas dinner and rudely turns away the gentlemen seeking donation for the poor. And as he sits down alone in his cold, dark apartment, he is visited by the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead partner. Marley is cursed to wander the earth. When Marley relates his unfortunate story, Scrooge is warned. Before Marley leaves, Scrooge is told that he would be haunted by Three Spirits. As the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come take Scrooge on respective journeys, whether he would learn the true meaning of the season. A Christmas Carol is filled with compassion and humour, with the characters who continue to live outside the pages. This Ghost story of Christmas will make you laugh and cry and still continues to be adapted into films, stage operas and other media.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens (1812–1870) gehört bis heute zu den beliebtesten Schriftstellern der Weltliteratur, in England ist er geradezu eine nationale Institution, und auch bei uns erfreuen sich seine Werke einer nicht nachlassenden Beliebtheit. Sein „Weihnachtslied in Prosa“ erscheint im deutschsprachigen Raum bis heute alljährlich in immer neuen Ausgaben und Adaptionen. Dickens’ lebensvoller Erzählstil, sein quirliger Humor, sein vehementer Humanismus und seine mitreißende Schaffensfreude brachten ihm den Beinamen „der Unnachahmliche“ ein.
