   Junto a la célebre Canción de Navidad, este volumen reúne otros tres cuentos de Charles Dickens (1812-1870), autor que supo retratar como ninguno el espíritu navideño. El carillón, El sepulturero y los duendes y Los siete viajeros pobres son tres magníficos relatos donde se nos muestran los principales rasgos de la obra dickensiana: el interés por las clases más desfavorecidas, la fantasía y el humor irónico, la felicidad domestica y el destino que trata a cada uno según se merece.

  The Cricket on the Hearth , Dickens's third, eagerly awaited Christmas book, was the most popular of all. Set in a pantomime world of toys, it was acclaimed by an amused and delighted Thackeray as a fancy 'crammed with extra bonbons, French plums and sweetnesses...a Christmas pageant which you witness in the arm-chair -- your private box by the fireside'. The Battle of Life , subtitled 'A Love Story', has little in common with the other Christmas books, although it does share the theme of the morally beneficial effects of memory, which runs throughout the genre and is central to The Haunted Man. This last Christmas book contains one of Dickens's greatest comic families -- the Tetterbys -- and a horrifying, concentrated poignancy in its depiction of the Hungry Forties which foreshadowed the achievement of Bleak House. The Christmas Books , Volume 1, containing The Christmas Carol and The Chimes , is also published in Penguin Classics.

• A Christmas Carol and The Cricket on the Hearth

  • Charles Dickens

  • 168 páginas
  • 6 horas de lectura

  Charles Dickens is considered one of the greatest English authors of all time. Dickens often used the pen name Boz. Much of his work first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialized form. Unlike many writers of his time Dickens wrote the entire novel before serializing it. He made frequent use of the cliffhanger to keep the public interested. A Christmas Carol is a traditional favorite about the conversion of Ebenezer Scrooge from a grasping old miser. Three nights in succession, Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, and emerges from the experience a totally changed man. The Cricket on the Hearth published in 1845 is a Christmas story. Instead of chapters this book is divided into Chirps. The story revolves around a family with a cricket in the house. The cricket is their guardian angel. At one point the cricket warns the master that his wife may be having an affair. Even though this seems to be a tragic occurrence all is well in the end. Love prevails and a girl may regain her sight. This IS a Christmas tale after all.
