Cuento de Navidad

Beschreibung

Charles Dickens da, con su Cuento de Navidad, forma a nuestras ideas sobre la Navidad. La historia se centra en un solitario avaro, Ebenezer Scrooge, al que una serie de visitantes fantasmales le enseñan el verdadero significado de la festividad y le dan una segunda oportunidad. Una historia plagada de ternura y redención humana. En el libro no solo se rescatan las tradiciones que llegaron hasta la sociedad victoriana sino que se consolidan las nuevas costumbres que han llegado hasta nuestros días. Centrado en la temática de la navidad, llega más allá de la festividad hasta exponer el espíritu humano y las virtudes fraternales, incluso con aquellos que estaban excluidos de la sociedad, como los pobres. La prosa de Dickens logra una narración que invita constantemente a tornar la página hasta su tan esperada conclusión. Esta nueva traducción al español actualiza el lenguaje de una obra maestra que desde siempre ha sida apta para todas las edades.

Autor

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsea, England. His parents were middle-class and suffered financially. When Dickens was twelve years old, his family faced financial crisis, which forced him to quit school and work in a shoe polish manufacturing factory. Dickens's mother and siblings eventually joined him. Dickens continued to work at the factory for several months. In the factory the horrific conditions haunted him throughout his life. Dickens never forgot the day when a senior boy in the warehouse took it upon himself to instruct Dickens how to do his work more efficiently. As a young adult, Dickens worked as a law clerk and later as a journalist. He perceived the darker social conditions of the Industrial Revolution. A collection of semi-fictional sketches entitled Sketches by Boz earned him recognition as a writer. Dickens began to make money from his writing when he published his first novel, The Pickwick Papers in 1836. The Pickwick Papers was hugely popular and Dickens became a literary celebrity at the age of twenty-five. Dickens's themes included wealth and poverty, love and rejection, and the eventual triumph of good over evil. In 1836, Dickens married Catherine Hogarth, but after twenty years of marriage and their ten children, he fell in love with Ellen Ternan, an actress many years his junior. Soon after, Dickens and his wife separated. Dickens remained a prolific writer to the end of his life, and his novels - Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, and Bleak House - continued to earn critical and popular acclaim. He died of a stroke in 1870, at the age of 58.
