Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte

by Charles Dickens

Overview

„‚Fröhliche Weihnachten? Was für ein Recht hast du, fröhlich zu sein? Du bist arm genug.' ‚Nun', antwortete der Neffe heiter‚ was für ein Recht haben Sie, grämlich zu sein? Sie sind reich genug.' "

Drei Geister besuchen den grantigen Ebeneezer Scrooge und führen ihm auf schauerliche Art und Weise seine eigene Kaltherzigkeit vor Augen. Als er am Weihnachtsmorgen erwacht, ist nichts mehr wie zuvor.

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.
