Official synopsis Publisher
This annotated version of A Christmas Carol includes the full original novel, an author’s biography and an in-depth analysis. This novel is a great story, that even written as a Christmas story, is just as entertaining all year long, and should definitely be read by anyone who loved fictive classics! The tale begins on a “cold, bleak, biting” Christmas Eve exactly seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge’s business partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge is “a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner” who has no place in his life for kindness, compassion or charity. He hates Christmas, calling it “humbug.” Returning home that evening, Scrooge is visited by Marley’s ghost: he warns Scrooge to change his ways lest he undergo the same miserable afterlife as himself… Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been called “the man who invented Christmas.” “A Christmas Carol” is a long novella he wrote in 1843.
