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.

Autorenporträt

Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812 - 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education and other social reforms.
