A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall on December 19, 1843. The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. A Christmas Carol tells the story of a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation into a gentler, kindlier man after visitations by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.The book was written at a time when the British were examining and exploring Christmas traditions from the past as well as new customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees.A Christmas Carol remains popular-having never been out of print-and has been adapted many times to film, stage, opera, and other media.

It's Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge is prepared to spend the evening like any other-miserable and alone. But the arrival of his long dead business partner, Jacob Marley, offers him chance for a new beginning, and a different future... if he can only change his ways. This adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale has all the familiar characters, but features a chorus of carolers who nimbly transition us through Scrooge's journey of self-examination and redemption.

A Scrooge, vecchio e insensibile usuraio, poco importa del Natale e del bene che potrebbe fare agli altri, da Fred, suo unico nipote, a Bob Cratchit, suo misero e sfruttato impiegato. Ma proprio la notte di Natale gli appare lo spettro del defunto socio in affari, Jacob Marley, il quale, dopo averlo aspramente rimproverato per la sua riprovevole condotta, gli preannuncia la visita di tre fantasmi. Essi gli permetteranno di viaggiare nel Natale passato, presente e futuro e di osservare il suo se stesso com'era un tempo non molto lontano, come fosse profondamente cambiato e a cosa sarebbe andato incontro. Scrooge, provato e colpito da questo viaggio psichico, riesce a comprendere una verità insospettata: solo l'amore può dare un significato alla vita di ogni essere umano. "A Christmas Carol", inaugurale racconto natalizio, conserva intatto ancora oggi il suo potere di commuovere e di additare all'umanità un esempio di fratellanza e un cammino di speranza.
