Résumé

Texte à corriger : "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is a classic novella that explores themes of redemption, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas. The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted old man who despises Christmas and everything associated with it. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the dire consequences of his selfish ways. Marley informs Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Each spirit takes Scrooge on a journey through time, revealing the impact of his actions on himself and others. The Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge scenes from his own life, highlighting moments of lost opportunities and forgotten joys. The Ghost of Christmas Present reveals the warmth and love that others experience during the holiday season, despite their hardships. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come presents a grim future if Scrooge continues on his current path. Through these supernatural encounters, Scrooge undergoes a profound transformation, realizing the importance of kindness, generosity, and human connection. By the end of the story, he becomes a changed man, embracing the spirit of Christmas and vowing to live a life of compassion and goodwill.

L'auteur - Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) est marqué à jamais par la pauvreté soudaine de ses années d'enfance. Cet immense écrivain et journaliste est un acerbe critique de son époque et de la société anglaise sous la révolution industrielle. On retrouve son regard à la fois réaliste, satirique, psychologique, moralisant et humoristique dans un autre célèbre roman publié au Livre de Poche Jeunesse : David Copperfield (n° 1116).
