A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas

Christmas is the time to wrap yourself in a blanket, hug a warm mug, and listen to the cold wind howling at the window. Do you hear it? That irritable and grumbling 'Christmas is nonsense!' that it brings from childhood?... The chime of bells? The stern and relentless voice of the spirit of Christmas? The sounds long familiar yet somewhat forgotten — isn't it time to remember what story they tell? In this collection, you will find three famous Christmas tales by Charles Dickens: 'A Christmas Carol' — the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the main miser of English literature, who placed no value on the joy of friendly communication and festive warmth; 'The Bells' — a tale about the hardships and misfortunes that society inflicts on the poor, and about the innate human striving for the ideal; 'The Haunted Man, or The Ghost's Bargain' — a story about how important it is to remember the suffering that has fallen to our lot, but not to allow it to ensnare the mind in a ring of regrets. Enjoy the exquisite prose and subtle humor of Charles Dickens in the original language without cuts or adaptations!
