Book Description:
Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol (1843) is a timeless holiday classic that tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who despises joy, generosity, and the spirit of Christmas. On a cold Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and then by three spirits — of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come — who guide him on a journey through his own life and its consequences.
As Scrooge confronts memories of lost love, present hardship, and a grim future, he undergoes a profound transformation that redeems his soul and renews his connection to humanity. With unforgettable characters like Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, Dickens weaves a powerful tale of compassion, redemption, and the enduring magic of the holiday season.
Heartfelt, haunting, and deeply moral, A Christmas Carol is one of the most celebrated works in English literature — a story of second chances that continues to inspire readers around the world.
