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 howl at the window. Do you hear it? The annoyed and grumbling "Christmas is nonsense!" that comes from childhood? The chime of the clock? The harsh and relentless voice of the spirit of Christmas? Familiar sounds that are also somewhat forgotten— is 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 valued joy of friendly communication and festive warmth at nothing; "The Chimes" — a tale about the difficulties and tribulations that society imposes on the poor, and the innate human striving for an ideal; "The Haunted Man, or the Ghost's Bargain" — a story about the importance of remembering the sufferings that have come our way, but not allowing them to capture our minds in a ring of regrets. Enjoy the exquisite style and subtle humor of Charles Dickens in the original language without abridgment and adaptation!
