Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Crescent Books, 1995. 1st American Edition, 1st Printing . Hardcover. COLLECTIBLE - NEW/New. BRAND NEW & Collectible. Original publication 1993, Aurum Press, London, UK; this is the first printing of the American Edition. Delightful, compact introduction to the mid-Victorian world that created Charles Dickens (1812-70) and that which he created. This book about Dickens and his times is painted through biographical commentaries, contemporary reviews, and recollections of friends and relatives, flushed out by extracts from his most famous, as well as lesser known, works. Illustrations round off the portrait, including London scenes Dickens has made so famous. Other booklets in this series include Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf.
Sinopsis
An immediate bestseller when it was first published in December 1843, A Christmas Carol has endured ever since as a perennial Yuletide favorite. Charles Dickens's beloved tale about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge--who comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill through a haunting Christmas Eve encounter with four ghosts--is a heartwarming celebration of the spirit of Christmas. 'Whether the Christmas visions would or would not convert Scrooge, they convert us,' wrote G. K. Chesterton. 'The story sings from end to end like a happy man going home.'The Modern Library edition also presents two more of Dickens's popular Christmas stories, The Chimes and The Haunted Man, Dickens's last Christmas tale, which features one of his greatest comic families, the Tetterbys. With an introduction by John Irving.
