Книга «A Christmas Carol in Prose»

A Christmas Carol in Prose by Charles Dickens (1812—1870) is one of the best works in the world literature. Being a tale about the highest human values, it has a fairy-tale theme as it is easier to speak about serious things lending them a fairy-tale form. On the Christmas night, in the abode of the main hero there appear relentless and nonchalant spirits who help him to rethink all his life, to comprehend its grandeur and beauty. A Christmas Carol teaches us kindness and forewarns us against dirty tricks; inspires us with the faith that there are no hopeless situations in life.
