A Christmas Carol de Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol

Autor Charles Dickens, General Press
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2017 – vârsta până la 11 ani

Găsim în paginile acestei ediții A Christmas Carol o atmosferă ce pendulează între frigul tăios al Londrei victoriene și căldura unei speranțe redobândite. Încă de la primele rânduri, suntem avertizați că moartea lui Marley este un fapt cert, o ancoră necesară pentru ca elementul miraculos care urmează să aibă greutate. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Charles Dickens reușește să transforme un personaj dezolant precum Ebenezer Scrooge într-un vehicul pentru o critică socială profundă, fără a sacrifica însă farmecul unei povești despre spirite și regrete. Structura cărții, organizată în cinci „Stave-uri” (capitole muzicale), ghidează cititorul printr-o călătorie temporală precisă: de la fantoma lui Marley, la spiritele Crăciunului Trecut, Prezent și Viitor, până la rezoluția finală a transformării. Pe același raft cu A Christmas Carol - Kid Classics de Charles Dickens, această ediție Collins Classics se distinge prin păstrarea textului original, neadaptat, oferind acea bogăție a limbajului care l-a consacrat pe autor ca un maestru al prozei britanice. Față de abordările pedagogice sau simplificate, volumul de față păstrează realismul dur al epocii, reflectând preocupările constante ale lui Dickens pentru drepturile copiilor și educație, teme explorate și în Great Expectations sau David Copperfield. Este o lectură în care umorul fin se împletește cu estetica gotică, oferind o experiență mult mai complexă decât o simplă parabolă morală.

Despre autor

Charles Dickens (1812–1870) este recunoscut drept cel mai important romancier al epocii victoriene, un observator acut al inechităților sociale din Anglia secolului al XIX-lea. Experiența sa timpurie, lucrând într-o fabrică de cremă de ghete la vârsta de 12 ani în timp ce tatăl său era închis pentru datorii, i-a marcat profund opera, transformându-l într-un apărător neobosit al celor defavorizați. Autor prolific, a scris 15 romane majore, printre care A Tale of Two Cities și Great Expectations, și a pionierat publicarea în foileton. Lucrările sale îmbină realismul social cu umorul satiric și personaje memorabile, rămânând fundamentale pentru literatura universală.

A one-of-a-kind gift for lovers of The Christmas Carol that will become a treasured addition to any Christmas lover's bookshelf. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity. The second of eight children, he grew up in a family frequently beset by financial insecurity. At age eleven, Dickens was taken out of school and sent to work in London backing warehouse, where his job was to paste labels on bottles for six shillings a week. His father John Dickens, was a warmhearted but improvident man. When he was condemned the Marshela Prison for unpaid debts, he unwisely agreed that Charles should stay in lodgings and continue working while the rest of the family joined him in jail. This three-month separation caused Charles much pain; his experiences as a child alone in a huge city-cold, isolated with barely enough to eat-haunted him for the rest of his life. When the family fortunes improved, Charles went back to school, after which he became an office boy, a freelance reporter and finally an author. With Pickwick Papers (1836-7) he achieved immediate fame; in a few years he was easily the most popular and respected writer of his time. It has been estimated that one out of every ten persons in Victorian England was a Dickens reader. Oliver Twist (1837), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-9) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41) were huge successes. Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-4) was less so, but Dickens followed it with his unforgettable, A Christmas Carol (1843), Bleak House (1852-3), Hard Times (1854) and Little Dorrit (1855-7) reveal his deepening concern for the injustices of British Society. A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1) and Our Mutual Friend (1864-5) complete his major works. Dickens's marriage to Catherine Hoggarth produced ten children but ended in separation in 1858. In that year he began a series of exhausting public readings; his health gradually declined. After putting in a full day's work at his home at Gads Hill, Kent on June 8, 1870, Dickens suffered a stroke, and he died the following day. He was a sympathiser with the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed; and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world.
