Rezension

The cheerful poverty of the Cratchit family in A Christmas Carol, is a sure-fire tear-jerker. At one public reading by Dickens in Boston, there were "so many pocket handkerchiefs it looked as if a snowstorm had gotten into the hall" Sunday Express

It has it all: a spooky ghost story, a heartwarming redemption and a great plot with a satisfyingly happy ending The Times

A story which, perhaps more than any other, sums up the spirit of the British Christmas Sunday Telegraph

One of the great achievements of British culture D.J. Taylor

But that story endures and retains the power to move us because it speaks to the human heart, and gives us hope when hope is fading Tony Parsons, Mirror

Classic for a reason

Stephanie aus Neuenhof am 02.02.2023

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)

Though, the concept of looking back and/or onto your own life, either through dreams or some supernatural way, isn’t entirely new to me it’s still one of the concepts that is so endlessly rewarding when done well. And the way Charles Dickens wrote this is done very well! It’s about Ebenezer Scrooge who has misgivings about nearly everything and everyone and is a very unpleasant fellow to have around in general. The story plays during Christmas time which is, or ought to be, a festive time filled with joy, happiness and love. Yet to Scrooge this particular season can’t pass quickly enough. What with people wanting to rip off his money for purposes unbefitting of his acceptance seeing that there are organisations and institutions which are still operating to care for the poor and destitude. Why then did one have to provide even more? It turns out, all he needed in order to see what really mattered in life was to have him be visited by his late business partner (with whom he had shared his dismal mood) who would help him see, would help him understand. I enjoyed this story overall, but most of all the author’s take on morality and his writing style. I’m just a sucker for the way one wrote and spoke all these years ago. If you would like to try a classic but are intimidated by the thick and seemingly challenging books like Anna Karenina, etc. then this short story might be for you - Hugh Grant does an excellent job at narrating it, if audiobooks are more your thing

Bad quality print

It looks a lot better online. In reality it is a poor quality print. Will not order here again.
