A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Ghost Story

Ebenezer Scrooge loves money and hates Christmas. While snowflakes swirl outside and people gather around the festive table, the old miser sits all alone in his huge cold house. There's no point in wasting time on empty gatherings, Scrooge decides, and goes to sleep. However, this sleep will not bring him peace. During the night, he will be visited by not one, not two, but four spirits, who will take him on a journey through time and space, turning the miser's world upside down, and who knows, perhaps convincing the old man that caring is worth more than just money...

Charles Dickens' tale of an old miser who is given a second chance by fate has become an integral part of global popular culture since its first publication one hundred eighty years ago. It is cherished by many generations, and reading it with family remains a relevant option for shared leisure for both children and adults. The translation by Tatyana Alexeyevna Ozerskaya of the most famous Christmas story allows readers to fully immerse themselves in the language and thought processes of Charles Dickens, whose texts are infused with a love for his work, for words, and for ideas. The literary world of Dickens is adorned in this edition with exquisite illustrations by Francesca Dell'Orto, a contemporary Italian artist and designer of textiles and theatrical costumes.
