Summary

With A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens created a modern fairy tale and shaped our ideas of Christmas。 The tale of the solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge， who is taught the true meaning of the season by a series of ghostly visitors and given a second chance， was conjured up by Dickens during one of his London night walks， who "wept and laughed" as he composed it。 Taken to readers' hearts for its humour， compassion and message of redemption， it remains its best-loved book。

I know it's not Christmas time， but I read this now anyways， and I really enjoyed it！ I'm sure everyone knows the story， but the details describing Scrooge and the ghosts are exquisite。 And obviously Scrooge's transformation is still as heartwarming as ever。 I don't know if I just needed a feel good story right now， but this one definitely hit the spot！ I know it's not Christmas time， but I read this now anyways， and I really enjoyed it！ I'm sure everyone knows the story， but the details describing Scrooge and the ghosts are exquisite。 And obviously Scrooge's transformation is still as heartwarming as ever。 I don't know if I just needed a feel good story right now， but this one definitely hit the spot！ 。。。more

Şu cehennem gibi bunaltıcı İzmir günlerinde etrafımı Noel ruhuyla， iyilikle kuşattı bu eser， Scrooge gibi bir ihtiyarın değişimi kalbimi umutla doldurdu。 Yılbaşı günü kahvemle okumayı da çok isterim， bayıldım！！！

Love every time I read this book， it encourages me that we can always change。 It’s not too late， improve everyday。 Be kind and love and enjoy our family and friends！

Ksandra ，

I am very grateful that I listen to this rather than read it。 Tim Curry is masterful when it comes to bringing this story alive。 plus， I completely understand why people believe Dickens was paid by the word！

Ja isegi kui minu jaoks oli kuiv ja keeruline， siis mingi ärkamishetk oli igas loos。 Isegi korduvalt。 Nii et tegelikult on need Dickensi lood mõnusalt sügavad ja puudutavad ka praeguseid lugejaid 。。。 kui suudad lõpuks ka teksti taha näha。Pikemalt kirjutan blogis: https://midaheliluges。blogspot。com/20。。。 Ja isegi kui minu jaoks oli kuiv ja keeruline， siis mingi ärkamishetk oli igas loos。 Isegi korduvalt。 Nii et tegelikult on need Dickensi lood mõnusalt sügavad ja puudutavad ka praeguseid lugejaid 。。。 kui suudad lõpuks ka teksti taha näha。Pikemalt kirjutan blogis: https://midaheliluges。blogspot。com/20。。。 。。。more

Shaurya Shukla ，

This book， one of Charles Dickens most noteworthy works， is completely based on Ebenezer Scrooge， a miser， whose miser friend and partner， Jacob Marley died years ago。 But soon， he is haunted by the ghosts of the past， the present， and the future。 This book is quite easy to read though， unlike the rest of Charles Dickens' books。 And in the end， Ebenezer Scrooge becomes a man who is always jolly and fun。 A good book。 This book， one of Charles Dickens most noteworthy works， is completely based on Ebenezer Scrooge， a miser， whose miser friend and partner， Jacob Marley died years ago。 But soon， he is haunted by the ghosts of the past， the present， and the future。 This book is quite easy to read though， unlike the rest of Charles Dickens' books。 And in the end， Ebenezer Scrooge becomes a man who is always jolly and fun。 A good book。 。。。more

اول مرة مع ديكينز （بغض النظر عن اوليفير اللي كانت مقررة دراسيًا في ثانوي）قصة لطيفة لذيذة شيقة 。。 ولكن فيها جزء فلسفي 。。كتبت 1843الماضي والحاضر والمستقبل。。استحالة حد يشوف التلاته وهيفضل زي ما هو من غير تحول。。انا اظن ان الأكثر تأثيرًا هو المستقبل。。 شئ طبيعي لما تشوف المستقبل تبقى عايز تحسنه。。 خاصةً لو المستقبل ده هو موتك وتأثيره！مناسبة جدًا لأجواء الكريسماس اللي احنا فيها （باين من عنوانها اصلا） ترجمة غير منظمة وسيئة

Es impresionante como Charles Dickens en menos de 100 hojas nos trae una de las historias mas conmovedoras， este libro me hizo amar la navidad， aun cuando no estoy en ella， me demostró como es que las personas pueden ser gentiles， amables y sinceras， fue como si me aventara un poco de esperanza en la humanidad en la cara， adore cada detalle， no se como Charles Dickens logro ser tan descriptivo con cada detalle en un libro tan corto que resulto ser tan bello， enserio， vaya regalo navideño que Cha Es impresionante como Charles Dickens en menos de 100 hojas nos trae una de las historias mas conmovedoras， este libro me hizo amar la navidad， aun cuando no estoy en ella， me demostró como es que las personas pueden ser gentiles， amables y sinceras， fue como si me aventara un poco de esperanza en la humanidad en la cara， adore cada detalle， no se como Charles Dickens logro ser tan descriptivo con cada detalle en un libro tan corto que resulto ser tan bello， enserio， vaya regalo navideño que Charles Dickens puso en nuestras manos。 。。。more

The insight of humanity and emotions related to experiences the characters have gone through， really tie things together。

As a HUGE fan of Christmas， and in particular a fan of ''A Christmas Carol''， I highly， highly， recommend this beautiful new edition。 I wish I had a physical copy in my hands too！This is the classic story in fusion with beautiful， watercolour illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award recipient Lisbeth Zwerger。 Looking through this， I got the impression that she told the tale through her use of colours and techniques。 I'm by no means an expert in illustrating， so I won't be able to properly As a HUGE fan of Christmas， and in particular a fan of ''A Christmas Carol''， I highly， highly， recommend this beautiful new edition。 I wish I had a physical copy in my hands too！This is the classic story in fusion with beautiful， watercolour illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award recipient Lisbeth Zwerger。 Looking through this， I got the impression that she told the tale through her use of colours and techniques。 I'm by no means an expert in illustrating， so I won't be able to properly describe what and how it's done， but each illustration helps bring the atmosphere of the characters and situations to life。 The way Scrooge is depicted and the colours she uses for him， are in total opposite of what she does for other characters。 You can exactly tell which characters are good， kind， lovely， and which are。。。not so much。 Once again， this is the classic story （which I've read so many times， and watched all kinds of renditions of it， even the Muppet Christmas Carol， which is one of my faves。）， but in an edition that would stand out proudly on anyone shelf。 I will， without a doubt， be going through this one， again， again and again。 。。。more

Hyacinth ，

One of the classics。 This one really like。 It is kind of other worldy but a good read。 Sometimes you need help to get things in perspective。 I guess Scrooge learned。

Sankeerth Reddy ，

Felt a little rushed。 Got enough time with initial ghosts but the climax felt too quick to be able to come to terms with what happened in the story。 Just a 10-20 pages more maybe？ But as far as self-discovery stories go， this one was unique in its setting。 Mostly self-discovery happens in life threatening situations or some classic adventure-like sequences。 But it's much different and much better here。 Felt a little rushed。 Got enough time with initial ghosts but the climax felt too quick to be able to come to terms with what happened in the story。 Just a 10-20 pages more maybe？ But as far as self-discovery stories go， this one was unique in its setting。 Mostly self-discovery happens in life threatening situations or some classic adventure-like sequences。 But it's much different and much better here。 。。。more

A very entertaining book that includes a massive theme or redemption。 （If the worst man in London can change from his awful ways。 Anyone can！）

Todd Crowe ，

The characterization of Scrooge and the descriptions of his emotions and the surroundings are amazing。 I feel like it’s almost Christmas time in July while I am reading this。

The Jim Dale narration is fabulous！ Wonderful！

Sobra decir que es mi película navideña favorita， así que sí， primero vi la peli， no me crucifiquen。Ahora， para hacerlo más especial… ES MI PRIMER AUDIO LIBRO！！！Sí， es la primera vez que escucho uno y me ha fascinado por completo。De la historia no tengo más que decir que el hecho de que es hermosa。 Podemos entender nuestra actitud actual sin recordar el pasado， entender el presente y comprender el futuro？ Podemos conocernos si no nos atrevemos a estudiar cada parte de nuestra vida？ Si no entende Sobra decir que es mi película navideña favorita， así que sí， primero vi la peli， no me crucifiquen。Ahora， para hacerlo más especial… ES MI PRIMER AUDIO LIBRO！！！Sí， es la primera vez que escucho uno y me ha fascinado por completo。De la historia no tengo más que decir que el hecho de que es hermosa。 Podemos entender nuestra actitud actual sin recordar el pasado， entender el presente y comprender el futuro？ Podemos conocernos si no nos atrevemos a estudiar cada parte de nuestra vida？ Si no entendemos que， la mayor parte del tiempo， las actitudes egoístas y hurañas no nos llevan a ningún lado？Scrooge aprendió eso。 Cuantos tenemos la oportunidad de ver nuestro posible futuro？ Y con todo el respeto que el tercer fantasma se merece， daba miedo， pero la severidad de su misión fue lo que hizo que Scrooge finalmente diera el cambio， a pesar de que pensaba que ya había aprendido su lección。La ignorancia y la miseria fueron como: oye， el mundo está lleno de esto， cómo escapo？Me encantó la narración （puede que la voz del narrador contribuyera） y he amado la historia desde antes， así que solo tengo cosas buenas para decir。 。。。more
