Excerpt from A Christmas Carol
The door of Scrooge's counting-house was open, that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, who; in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn't replenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room and so surely as the clerk came in with the shove] the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part. Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at 'the candle; in which efl'ort, not being a. Man of a strong imagination, he failed.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book opens on a bleak Christmas Eve, plunging us into the miserly world of Ebenezer Scrooge. He is a man untouched by the festive spirit, valuing profit above all else. Even the joyful tidings of his nephew and the charitable pleas of gentlemen fall on deaf ears. But this Christmas Eve is unlike any other. Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of a chilling fate should he continue down his path of greed. Three spirits will visit him, offering a chance at redemption. The first spirit whisks Scrooge back to his lonely childhood, reminding him of lost love and forgotten dreams. The second spirit reveals the stark reality of poverty and the struggles of his own employee, Bob Cratchit, whose family finds joy in the face of hardship. The final spirit confronts Scrooge with a grim vision of his future, one devoid of warmth and human connection. Through these haunting encounters, the author compels us to confront our own priorities and the true meaning of compassion. This timeless tale serves as a powerful reminder that generosity and kindness are the greatest gifts we can offer, not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.
