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

Christmas is the time to wrap yourself in a blanket, hold a warm mug in your hands, and listen to the cold wind howling outside the window. Do you hear it? That irritated and grumpy ‘Christmas is nonsense!’ that it... brings from childhood? The sound of the clock? The stern and relentless voice of the spirit of Christmas? The sounds are long familiar and yet somewhat forgotten – is it not 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 valued neither the joy of friendly gatherings nor the warmth of the holiday; ‘The Bells’ – a tale about the hardships and misfortunes that society condemns the poor to, and the innate human striving for an ideal; ‘The Haunted Man, or The Ghost's Bargain’ – a story about how important it is to remember the sufferings that have befallen us, but not to let them seize our mind in a ring of regrets. Enjoy the exquisite prose and subtle humor of Charles Dickens in the original language without abridgments or adaptations!
