Cuento de Navidad (A Christmas Carol) (Spanish edition)

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Ebenezer Scrooge, un anciano avaro que desprecia la Navidad, recibe la visita en Nochebuena del fantasma de su difunto socio, Jacob Marley, y de tres espíritus: los fantasmas de la Navidad pasada, la presente y la venidera. A través de estas visitas, Scrooge confronta el dolor de su pasado, es testigo de las luchas de quienes lo rodean, especialmente su empleado Bob Cratchit y su enfermizo hijo Tiny Tim, y ve el destino solitario que le espera si no cambia.

Conmovido por estas revelaciones, Scrooge despierta la mañana de Navidad como un hombre transformado, abrazando la generosidad, el amor y el verdadero espíritu de la Navidad. Se convierte en una fuente de alegría y apoyo para los demás, asegurando la recuperación de Tiny Tim y difundiendo buena voluntad para todos.

Esta historia eterna de redención, compasión y el poder de las segundas oportunidades continúa resonando entre lectores de todas las edades.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
