Good morning and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !
And to remember the true spirit of Christmas, which story should I choose if not the one that has become the Christmas story par excellence almost all over the world?
Here you are: A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens, first published in London in 1843 ( by Editor Chapman and Hall and illustrated by John Leech).
__THE STORY __ A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a very rich and very miserly old man, who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future. After their visits, Scrooge realizes how stupid and mean he has been, and deciding that he no longer wants to waste his time in such a manner, he transforms into a kinder, gentler man.
He was influenced by the experiences of his youth and the Christmas stories of other authors.
The attitude towards the poor and a person's ability to redeem themselves, opening up to the world and others, becoming more empathetic, are the keys to the story, this is also expressed very well by the quote that I chose to put in my graphics..
Published on December 19, the first edition sold out on Christmas Eve; by the end of 1844 thirteen editions had been published.
Since cinema was born, there have been countless transpositions on the screen both with actors and as cartoon animations :-)
... Again : HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !!!! --KISS--
