A Christmas Carol - Hasan Ali Yücel Classics

A Christmas Carol - Hasan Ali Yücel Classics Book Description Charles Dickens (1812-1870): Dickens, considered the most important novelist of Victorian England, was the child of a middle-class family. When he was twelve years old, his family fell into trouble and he started working in a factory and had the opportunity to observe the life of the working class, which he described with great accuracy in his novels. Perhaps Dickens' most popular work, A Christmas Carol, was published just before Christmas in 1843, and its first edition sold out within days. By emphasizing the human aspect of Christmas, he changed the celebration of this holiday, contributed to the revival of Christmas in the Victorian Era, and influenced British society so much that his hero's surname entered the dictionary meaning "stin". The warm light of this modern tale, which tells the story of the stingy, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge's great change with the help of three ghosts who show him his past, present and future, also illuminates Dickens's interpretation of the real world he lives in, an outspoken social critic. A Christmas Carol has been translated into many languages and adapted many times for stage, cinema and television. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
