A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

The replacement copy is is good condition and brand new.

It's really nice book 📖

Ebenezer Scrooge is a grumpy, cold-hearted old man. He hates Christmas as hell and on an Eve he's all set to scare away everyone who'll come and wish him. Later in the night, he's been visited by his dead friend, Jacob Marley, who informs him that the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future are going to visit him.I've always wanted to read Charles Dickens' work and this Christmas I thought why not start with A Christmas Carol. I absolutely loved the story, the lesson, the narration, the writing style, the characters, tho, it did got little boring in between and I'd have given 4 stars but that extra one's for the ending which I obviously loved. I'll definitely read more of Charles' work.

Well, it took less than a day for me to finish this endearing piece of literature. And as much as the book is like a simple adage, introduction-story-denouement, it is all about how Dickens goes on with his infallible style of his character description.Going into the story, Ebenezer Scrooge is a morose, irritable curmudgeon who mostly keeps to himself and wouldn't bestow a trifle of happiness on others. If anything, he likes to rob others of their joyous moods. With the Christmas eve at hand, many a person come to him for wishing Merry Christmas but gets turned away. Scrooge lives in a little bleak house where the Ghost of his long-gone deceased partner, Jacob Marley, visits him and informs him he would be visited by Three other ghosts. And what things the ghosts show him, which places they take him, to get the old man a glimpse of how the world perceives a Christmas eve; and how it looks down upon a stingy old man who wouldn't care twopence for anyone when he had lived. A rather heart-warming tale about the blithe way everyone regards those around him/her on Christmas Eve.I have read Dickens before. But this tale just settles into the grooves of my heart with a beautiful presence. Some lines, as always in a Dickens novel, stayed with me and will stay for long.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a book based upon kindness, charity, love, generosity, respect and Christmas spirit.😍So mainly this prose or story is about a man named Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by his former friend Jacob Marley and the Christmas spirits of past, present and yet to come. After the visits of the spirits he completely changes into a generous man. ❤️Scrooge is a cold hearted man and a bit greedy. He doesn’t care about the feelings of other people.😞 He never even spoke well with his family and relatives. Once on the eve of Christmas his nephew, Fred invited him to a family dinner so that his mood could change but he refused him and spoke in an ill-mannered way.But then he is visited by the spirits. The past spirits took him to his childhood memories where he enjoyed with his sister, how happy he was, how he spent his time with his family. The present spirit took him to his employee’s house, where he was shown the condition of his family, how his crippled son was struggling to live and informed him if the future isn’t changed he may even die. He also visited the party at Fred’s. So at last the yet to come spirit visit him and show him several scenes showing that after the death of a person everyone is amused instead of grieving. He also tells him the tiny Tim (his employee’s son is also dead). Then is too learns that he is dead and his death has only pleased people.So from these visits he learns about changing his nature that is talking to everyone in a good way, thinking good for others, involving with his family, and never ignore anyone. And these visits did change him.😊The best part of this novel was obviously the time when he changed himself. ❤️ He gave smile to everyone and was friendly to every person he meets. On the eve of Christmas, he sends a turkey to his employee’s house, gives generous amount of donation to the charity, people whom he has insulted before and he also went for dinner party at Fred’s. Next day he even raised his employee’s salary. From that day onward, he never visited any spirits and kept the spirits of Christmas alive.😍This book may help many people to give up greed and selfishness. Every person either young or old must read this book and learn some core values form this book. 👍🏻👏🏻

Book Review: A Christmas CarolAuthor: Charles DickensIt's pointless to review a classic and that too a Dickens.Anyhow, Christmas is the perfect time to open up a classic holiday story. And thus, I picked up Charles Dickens classic story, A Christmas Carol once more.And this time this one was a great challenge for me.First off, I want to say that, overall, I enjoyed the moral aspects of what is perhaps Dickens’ most well-known story. Most people may be familiar with the concept of this tale, though in case you’re not, here’s a quick synopsis: Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean old man who has a crazy amount of wealth (which he doesn’t deserve in the slightest). Due to his continuous wickedness, Scrooge is visited in the night by three spirits: The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present, and The Ghost of Christmas Future.Each ghost aims to change the hollow blackness of Scrooge’s cruel and selfish spirit by showing him what will become of him, his riches, and ultimately his life if he continues to treat people the way he does.I think the main issue I had with this story was that I felt like it could’ve easily been told (and had the same positive emotional effect) in a much smaller amount of pages. (Around 50-60 would have sufficed.) Instead, A Christmas Carol drags on and on….and on, spending pages focused on minute details that, in my humble opinion, weren’t needed as much.Another unfortunate negative for me was the language. No, there’s no profanity or the like, though since this book was originally published in December of 1843, it’s understandable that those of us alive nearly 177 years later would stumble upon some trouble with the diction. I found myself rereading passages over several times just to gain a better understanding of what specifically was happening, though honestly sometimes I just gave up and read it through as best I could.Nonetheless, this holiday classic still brings to mind feelings of happiness and joy for me as I do love its strong presence of a moral compass and because it takes place during Christmas time!I wouldn't dare to even rate this one. It's a classic and truly one of its kind.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens...!!!Its a Classic fiction Story... which revolves around a person named Ebenezer Scrooge, The man only gives respect to money but no one else...!!!At one point while describing Scrooge, Author writes like this "No warmth could warm, No wintry weather will chill him, No wind that blew was bitterer than he, No falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, No pelting rain less open to entreaty"In this book, A situation comes where Scrooge should meet Three Spirits : The Spirit of past, present and Future. Now the question is whether these spirits able to change the attitude of Scrooge or not and what happens to Scrooge after meeting these three spirits...!!! One should read this book and learn for themselves...!!!Its a wonderful classic... and what makes A Christmas carol Special is - "The Author : Charles Dickens" The way he express the story will leave readers speechless..!!!I Strongly recommend one to buy this book, and the following once...* A Christmas Carol* Animal Farm* The Time Machine* Frankenstein* 1984Note : I bought this book from Finger print publishers, truly speaking this book by finger print publishers is not like the usual one they have published this book with love, I must say love.... because the quality of ages and printing says so...

The book is really light weight and easy to read. The cover is beautiful. And price is also justifiable. Gonna recommend and purchase FP Classics again and again.

Masterpiece by Charles Dickens

It is worth.

Excellent packing and on time delivery of the product

The book content is excellent, but the packaging was poor — it arrived bent with wrinkles

Best read for christmas time. it's is a gothic classic short story.

Good quality and a good story, as expected from a classic

The extent to which Charles Dickens understood the essence of human life and the magic of the cosmos has been reflected by this marvellous piece of literature. The importance of relations and celebrating each other are central themes, with Christmas as the backdrop. It's just so cozy!

This book makes our Christmas more enchanting by imparting valuable life lessons. This book has rich vocabulary and Charles Dickens brilliantly yet flawlessly wrote this book. The book transports us to a different world all together and is short,sweet and crisp.Ebenezer Scrooge reflects the follies of mankind and the three spirits show him the right direction, embracing virtues and value of human relationships.Overall a must read for all those who love Charles Dickens writings.

𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦’𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥.𝗔 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀I thought A Christmas Carol was great. However, I don’t know if my enjoyment was based on Dickens’s writing or the fact I had already read the story while I was in school and had seen and loved other adaptations. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a story that reminds us that no one is all bad, and that we are capable of changing our bad ways and habits. Most of us are given second chances, but not everyone makes use of them.My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I started this book I must say that I guessed the ending. And for once I'm not disappointed with it being so predictable. This book is based on very basics of human nature; Humanity and everything connected reminds us to be humans. It helps us remember what it's like to be a human once again though the story is based on a very grumpy, bitter, old and lonely man who won't wish or celebrate any joys of life including Christmas; experiences epiphany one night and learns the live his life delightfully once again also starts to look after people around him too. Sometimes it's okay to let the ghost of friend, past, present and future haunt you. Live our present in such a way that we can arrive at the future we wish for while remembering our past. I'll just say read this book to be a better person in next moment than this one.
