A Christmas Carol Tapa blanda - 2013

de Charles Dickens

Acerca de este libro

The full title of Charles Dickens' most famous work is technically A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost-Story of Christmas. This novella was published on December 19, 1843, and the first edition run of 6000 copies were sold out by Christmas Eve of that year.

The publication of the first edition was fraught with complications, and even though the book was received to positive reviews, profits of the book fell far below Dickens' expectations, and the financial strain caused rifts between Dickens and the original publisher, Chapman & Hall.

Información de la editorial

Dickens was always fond of "A Christmas Carol" and the theme of generosity portrayed in Scrooge's transformation was close to his heart. He read from the book to an audience shortly before his death.

Divided into the musical staves of a carol rather than chapters, the story run as follows:

Stave 1: Marley's Ghost

Stave 2: The First of the Three Spirits

Stave 3: The Second of the Three Spirits

Stave 4: The Last of the Spirits

Stave 4: The End of It

This beautifully illustrated edition makes a great gift item or a collector's item. Illustrations are in black and white.

Identificación de primeras ediciones

The initial publication of A Christmas Carol was challenged by several issues, and those issues are evident in some of the first edition identification notes. The final product of the first edition was printed with a red cloth binding with gilded pages and yellow endpapers. The very first copies were printed with green endpapers, and those copies are exceptionally rare.

The first edition contains four colored illustrations and four black and white illustrations. In the first edition, Stave I is printed with the roman numeral, while later editions spell out the number to be printed as Stave One.
