Produktbeschreibung

Christmas is a time for family, friends, and loved ones to come together and celebrate the season. For some, it is also a time of reflection on the past year and preparations for the coming one. For Ebenezer Scrooge, it is a time to be alone.

Since he was a child, Scrooge has been taught that Christmas is a time for charity and goodwill toward others. But after being forced into retirement by his ruthless business partner, Scrooge finds himself lonely at Christmastime. One night in front of his fire, Scrooge has a dream in which an old man named Jacob Marley shows him all of the ways he has wronged others over the years. The most important lesson from Jacob Marley is that change can happen if someone truly wants it to.

After waking up from his dream, Scrooge decides to start living life more positively and helps three poor people during Christmas Eve services. Inspired by this change in attitude, other people begin to show up at his door asking for help - even old friends from when he was still successful in business have come back to ask for his advice. In the end, Scrooge learns that happiness comes not from things but from within oneself and shares this message with everyone at his Christmas party.

This simple story about redemption contains powerful lessons about self-awareness and forgiveness that are relevant today more than ever. With its timeless messages of hope and encouragement, A Christmas Carol will touch readers' hearts deeply as they journey along with Ebenezer Scrooge on his journey to becoming a better person."

Autorenporträt

Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9 June 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 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today. 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 readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication.
