A Christmas carol. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Charles Dickens - Synapse Publishing, 2019 -
In October 1843, Charles Dickens heavily in debt and obligated to his publisher began work on a book to help supplement his family's meager income. That volume, "A Christmas Carol, "has long since become one of the most beloved stories in the English language. As much a part of the holiday season as holly, mistletoe, and evergreen wreaths, this perennial favorite continues to delight new readers and rekindle thoughts of charity and goodwill. With its characters exhibiting many qualities as well as failures often ascribed to Dickens himself, the imaginative and entertaining tale relates Ebenezer Scrooge's eerie encounters with a series of spectral visitors. Journeying with them through Christmases past, present, and future, he is ultimately transformed from an arrogant, obstinate, and insensitive miser to a generous, warmhearted, and caring human being. Written by one of England's greatest and most popular novelists, "A Christmas Carol" has come to epitomize the true meaning of Christmas.Complete edition with reader-friendly table of contents.

Oliver Twist is the second novel by the english writer Charles Dickens. It was first published as a serial between 1837 and 1839. The story is about a young orphan, Oliver Twist, who gets involved in a tumultuous series of misadventures leading him to the huge and not welcoming city of London. He will be unwillingly involved in shady dealings of a gang of criminals and he will have to fight for his own survival. This book is a masterpiece of literature and a brilliant example of XIX century social novel. It is steeped by a deep black sense of humour concerning thorny issues such as child labor and life in a metropolis devastated by a violent industrialization which destroys every human value. This novel has inspired many film adaptations, one by David Lean (1948), one by Carol Reed (1968), and by the Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski (2005).Complete edition with reader-friendly table of contents.
