Christmas Stories

"Christmas Stories" were conceived by Dickens as a social sermon, and in the 1840s, one of the five novellas was published every year around Christmas. Through artistic images, the author addressed both poor and rich readers, advocating for the improvement... of the plight of some and the "moral correction" of others. The result was a cycle of five works, translated into all the world's languages, repeatedly adapted for film, and which became truly immortal classics of world literature. A cycle in which fairy tale and reality, fantasy and truth intermingle, alongside humans, mythological and folkloric characters act, and in the end, Good inevitably defeats Evil, virtue triumphs, and vice is punished. And we, children and adults, very much want to believe that Christmas miracles really do happen…
