A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, usually known just as A Christmas Carol is a fairy-tale novel by a British classic Charles Dickens, that was published in 1843.
It consists of five chapters, or staves as the author named them. Among all the stories from Christmas Books by Dickens this one became the most popular story about Christmas in Great Britain and outside the country.
The main character is an old gloomy miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who doesn't love anyone or anything except his money. He doesn't understand why everybody is so happy about Christmas and with disgust, refuses the invitation from his kind nephew to celebrate this holiday together with his family.
On Christmas Eve, the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley appeared in front of Scrooge, and it changed him drastically…

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

Nostalgie und Weihnachtsstimmung

Ein kleines Meisterwerk, das die vorweihnachtliche Freude ankurbelt wie früher das nächste Törchen beim Adventskalender.
Ist Weihnachten nah, kann Scrooge nicht fern sein. Obwohl die Geschichte und ihr Ausgang längst kein Geheimnis mehr sind, empfand ich beim Lesen das reinste Vergnügen. Noch nie hat bei mir ein Buch ein solches Weihnachtsgefühl ausgelöst wie dieses. Jetzt ist mir auch klar, woher die ganzen Verfilmungen kommen. Die Geschichte ist simpel und doch verzaubert sie. Nostalgie und Weihnachtsstimmung verbünden sich zur idealen Lektüre in der Adventszeit.
Ein Buch, das man zwar nur einmal im Jahr lesen kann, dafür aber alle Jahre wieder!
