A Christmas Carol

The narrative follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who is visited by spectral visions that compel him to reflect on his life. Through the Ghost of Christmas Past, he revisits moments from his childhood, apprenticeship, and lost love. The Ghost of Christmas Present teaches him that true happiness is not tied to material wealth. This poignant tale, written in a few weeks and published in 1843, has become a cornerstone of Christmas literature, exploring themes of redemption and the spirit of giving.
