Sinossi
A Scrooge, vecchio e insensibile usuraio, poco importa del Natale e del bene che potrebbe fare agli altri, da Fred, suo unico nipote, a Bob Cratchit, suo misero e sfruttato impiegato. Ma proprio la notte di Natale gli appare lo spettro del defunto socio in affari, Jacob Marley, il quale, dopo averlo aspramente rimproverato per la sua riprovevole condotta, gli preannuncia la visita di tre fantasmi. Essi gli permetteranno di viaggiare nel Natale passato, presente e futuro e di osservare il suo se stesso com'era un tempo non molto lontano, come fosse profondamente cambiato e a cosa sarebbe andato incontro. Scrooge, provato e colpito da questo viaggio psichico, riesce a comprendere una verità insospettata: solo l'amore può dare un significato alla vita di ogni essere umano. "A Christmas Carol", inaugurale racconto natalizio, conserva intatto ancora oggi il suo potere di commuovere e di additare all'umanità un esempio di fratellanza e un cammino di speranza. (La copertina riprende la grafica della prima edizione del 1843).

One of my favourite books of all time. It's a beautiful reminder of the spirit of Christmas, what the holiday represents and how we can be more kind and mindful of our actions.
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

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens It's a very heartwarming story and will remind one to have a giving and loving spirit. Loved this story. The tale is as delightful as its messages are.

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
