Canción de navidad

Por Charles Dickens

Scrooge, un viejo e inhumano avaro, a quien todo el mundo repudia por su forma de ser, es visitado durante la Nochebuena por el espectro de Marley, su antiguo socio, quien le presenta en una serie de visiones el pasado, el presente y el futuro como un modo de advertirle su nefasto fin si no cambia pronto de vida. El horror que produce su degradación, reflejada en las visiones, produce en él un cambio radical. Scrooge se despierta la mañana de Navidad como un hombre nuevo, convirtiéndose a partir de ese día en una persona totalmente distinta, comportándose en adelante como un viejo sociable y caritativo. Este relato se publicó en 1843.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic. Regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era, Dickens had a prolific collection of works including fifteen novels, five novellas, and hundreds of short stories and articles. The term “cliffhanger endings” was created because of his practice of ending his serial short stories with drama and suspense. Dickens’ political and social beliefs heavily shaped his literary work. He argued against capitalist beliefs, and advocated for children’s rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens advocacy for such causes is apparent in his empathetic portrayal of lower classes in his famous works, such as The Christmas Carol and Hard Times.
