Sinossi
Ebenezer Scrooge, arido e spilorcio finanziere londinese, odia il Natale. Lo considera – anzi – tempo perso, un ostacolo al proprio arricchimento. Ma la notte della Vigilia, dopo una giornata passata alla scrivania senza nulla concedere all’atmosfera festosa che lo circonda, riceve la visita di tre spiriti: del Natale passato, presente e futuro. Nel corso di un fantastico viaggio che farà rivivere a Scrooge tutte le tappe della propria vita e intravedere un ben misero avvenire, gli spiriti riusciranno ad aprire i suoi occhi a sentimenti di generosità e amore. Il Canto di Natale non è però solo una favola a lieto fine. È anche uno degli esempi meglio riusciti di critica sociale di Dickens, oltre che una delle più famose e commoventi storie sul Natale.

It has been a decade since I last read this classic, so I decided to look at it again, taking note of what I have forgotten or imperfectly remembered and also garnering any new insights my older (and I hope wiser) self could now find within it. But first, I decided to do a little research, and discov Leggi tutto
Bah! Humbug! Ebenezer Scrooge is a bitter old man, working day after day in his office, mistreating everyone around him, caring only about making riches and little else. Christmas Eve is no exception, as he dismisses it as utter humbug. But that might change when a fatidic night, he is visited by
How many of you know an Ebenezer Scrooge? How many of you are Ebenezer Scrooge? Written in 1843, A Christmas Carol is a novella that has stood the test of time. This year, we didn’t put up a Christmas tree, and I haven’t been feeling the “Christmas spirit.” But this book squarely right sided the situa Leggi tutto

Update on December 24, 2020: I listened to this on audio this time around; something a bit different for me. I enjoyed the narration quite a lot, but there's nothing that beats reading Dickens in print. This story never fails to cheer, inspire, and give me pause to reflect on those things that I hol Leggi tutto
