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

Christmas is a time to wrap oneself in a blanket, hug a warm mug, and listen to the cold wind howling outside the window. Do you hear it? That irritated and grumbling "Christmas is nonsense!" that comes from your childhood?... The sound of bells? The harsh and relentless voice of the Spirit of Christmas? Familiar sounds, 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 friendship and the warmth of the holiday at nothing; "The Chimes" — a story about the difficulties and misfortunes that society imposes on the poor, and the innate human striving for an ideal; "The Haunted Man, or The Ghost's Bargain" — a tale about the importance of remembering the sufferings we have endured, but not allowing them to ensnare our minds in a ring of regrets. Enjoy the exquisite prose and subtle humor of Charles Dickens in the original language without cuts or adaptations!
