A Christmas Carol

5b, 1846 11th edition by Charles Dickens

Description

A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1843. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted businessman who despises Christmas and human kindness. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and three spirits—the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come—who show him the consequences of his greed. Through these visions, Scrooge undergoes a profound transformation, embracing generosity and the true spirit of Christmas. The story is a timeless tale of redemption and holiday spirit.
