A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens - A Timeless Holiday Classic | Love and Compassion | A Gripping Story of Redemption and Forgiveness | Victorian England | A Masterpiece on Generosity and Empathy | Classic Literature

Well, it took less than a day for me to finish this endearing piece of literature. And as much as the book is like a simple adage, introduction-story-denouement, it is all about how Dickens goes on with his infallible style of his character description. Going into the story, Ebenezer Scrooge is a morose, irritable curmudgeon who mostly keeps to himself and wouldn't bestow a trifle of happiness on others. If anything, he likes to rob others of their joyous moods. With the Christmas eve at hand, many a person come to him for wishing Merry Christmas but gets turned away. Scrooge lives in a little bleak house where the Ghost of his long-gone deceased partner, Jacob Marley, visits him and informs him he would be visited by Three other ghosts. And what things the ghosts show him, which places they take him, to get the old man a glimpse of how the world perceives a Christmas eve; and how it looks down upon a stingy old man who wouldn't care twopence for anyone when he had lived. A rather heart-warming tale about the blithe way everyone regards those around him/her on Christmas Eve. I have read Dickens before. But this tale just settles into the grooves of my heart with a beautiful presence. Some lines, as always in a Dickens novel, stayed with me and will stay for long.

It is worth.

Best read for christmas time. it's is a gothic classic short story.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a book based upon kindness, charity, love, generosity, respect and Christmas spirit.😍 So mainly this prose or story is about a man named Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by his former friend Jacob Marley and the Christmas spirits of past, present and yet to come. After the visits of the spirits he completely changes into a generous man. ❤️ Scrooge is a cold hearted man and a bit greedy. He doesn’t care about the feelings of other people.😞 He never even spoke well with his family and relatives. Once on the eve of Christmas his nephew, Fred invited him to a family dinner so that his mood could change but he refused him and spoke in an ill-mannered way. But then he is visited by the spirits. The past spirits took him to his childhood memories where he enjoyed with his sister, how happy he was, how he spent his time with his family. The present spirit took him to his employee’s house, where he was shown the condition of his family, how his crippled son was struggling to live and informed him if the future isn’t changed he may even die. He also visited the party at Fred’s. So at last the yet to come spirit visit him and show him several scenes showing that after the death of a person everyone is amused instead of grieving. He also tells him the tiny Tim (his employee’s son is also dead). Then is too learns that he is dead and his death has only pleased people. So from these visits he learns about changing his nature that is talking to everyone in a good way, thinking good for others, involving with his family, and never ignore anyone. And these visits did change him.😊 The best part of this novel was obviously the time when he changed himself. ❤️ He gave smile to everyone and was friendly to every person he meets. On the eve of Christmas, he sends a turkey to his employee’s house, gives generous amount of donation to the charity, people whom he has insulted before and he also went for dinner party at Fred’s. Next day he even raised his employee’s salary. From that day onward, he never visited any spirits and kept the spirits of Christmas alive.😍 This book may help many people to give up greed and selfishness. Every person either young or old must read this book and learn some core values form this book. 👍🏻👏🏻

Nice little copy, thought there were to be illustrations but actually thats on the hard copy but this is a sweet book

I love this story so much! And what a beautiful edition!

Non avevo mai letto integralmente (e in inglese) il canto di Natale di Dickens, mi ero sempre limitata ai brani in lingua originale proposti nei libri di letteratura inglese. Devo dire che è stata una piacevolissima lettura per accompagnare l'attesa al Natale, sempre molto attuale. Sono presenti delle illustrazioni in bianco e nero e l'edizione è quella lingua originale integrale (non aspettatevi quindi un inglese "semplificato" o "modernizatto"). Non avendone una copia nella mia libreria, ho voluto acquistare un'edizione che fosse anche esteticamente bella. La copertina è rigida, rivista di rosso e con dettagli dorati, che rendono il libricino molto instagrammabile. Molto carino anche da tenere sopra un tavolino nel periodo natalizio. Unica pecca: speravo fossero incluse anche le "Other Christmas Stories", che in questo libro invece non so presenti.

Très belle édition !

What a wonderful book! After a (grossly misprinted) disappointment from a different publisher of this same book, I am very pleased with this copy. The cover, layout & illustrations are all lovely. I don't typically like the feel of glossy pages, but I'm overlooking that minor detail of personal preference with the hope that this book will last the test of time because of its glossy paper. Also, it's a large size book that will stand out & look beautiful on the shelf between reads. “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”
