Ebenezer Scrooge is an elderly man, harsh, introverted, lonely as an oyster, and without a trace of kindness and generosity. The ice in his soul distorts his aged face and makes his walk stiff. He does not like holidays at all, especially Christmas, as he believes it is the time when you become a year older but not an hour richer.
However, his character and behavior will radically change after a visit from the ghost of his deceased partner, Jacob Marley, and three spirits: those of Christmas Past, Present, and Future...
A Christmas Carol, the masterpiece of the eminent English author Charles Dickens, was first published in 1843. It achieved immediate success and continues to attract new readers, as it teaches us the true meaning of Christmas and rekindles within us the feelings of kindness, love for our fellow man, and mutual assistance.
