The timeless story by Charles Dickens about the miracle of Christmas in the teen literature series by Furfur Publishers.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a grumpy old miser, heartless and ruthless towards everyone, who loves money and, worst of all, despises Christmas! He considers it nonsense and his favorite phrase when mentioning it is "Bah, humbug!". No one speaks to him on the street, but he doesn't care. Nothing touches him!
Can such a man change and become a philanthropist, warm-hearted and cheerful, the biggest supporter of the holiday in London? Do miracles really happen? On Christmas Eve, Scrooge receives some very special guests, who bring him important life lessons as gifts. The ghost of his old business partner and the three spirits of Christmas will show him the way of love, and he will experience his first true Christmas! You see? It's never too late for miracles!
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English journalist and author, the foremost novelist to emerge from Victorian England and one of the greatest globally. He was a fierce critic of the class divisions of 19th-century English society and the immense poverty that the Industrial Revolution signified for large parts of the population. Dickens is the writer of the poor, the helpless, and the destitute.
His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, is a didactic story that can be subject to analysis and skepticism, but at the same time, it is enjoyable and beloved, one that we return to again and again and each time we are enveloped in the white snow, the gray of London, the red and green of the decorations, and above all, the warmth of the fire crackling in the hearth. A Christmas Carol continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre.
