En julsaga är en viktoriansk moralsaga om en äldre, bitter man, Ebenezer Scrooge, som under en natt får se sitt liv i tre delar. Det förflutna, nutid och framtid. Detta verk av Charles Dickens publicerades den 19:e december 1843 och blev omedelbart otroligt populär och har varit så i över ett och ett halvt århundrade. [Elib]… (mer)
JenniferRobb: Both have male protagonists who experience visions of the past and of the future and whose visions cause a behavioral change. Dickens's work is about Christmas while Kingsbury's is not.
JenniferRobb: Both books look at three different periods in the main characters life. In Dickens it is past, present, and future. In Blount, it is childhood, adulthood, and old age.
Anonym användare: The Greatest Gift is the book that was turned into It's a Wonderful Life, probably the second best Christmas story after A Christmas Carol!
I'm amazed how much of the Muppet movie came directly from the book, including scenes I thought were too ridiculous to be real! There are also a few Symbolic and Allegorical scenes that just wouldn't float in a modern adaptation. Still, good fun, and I'm glad I finally read the original. ( )
A Christmas Carol is just delightful - - as good as all the television movies and plays based on it. Dickens can really create the most wonderful visuals as you are reading, and he certainly develops his characters. Scrooge typifies the type of character that you just love to hate, and then end up loving. The descriptions in the story are totally evocative, and as you all know already, the ending is completely heart-warming.
Why not 5 stars? Well, truthfully, it is probably deserving, but I think the suspense is lacking just the smidge I'd need to give it that 5th star. Of course that's probably due to knowing the story inside out backward. It also does have the element of fantasy, being about ghosts, that I just never really love - - so more of a personal preference thing going on there. But the writing - - can't beat it!! ( )
Purchased this to go with the edition of "The Night Before Christmas" which was also illustrated by Arthur Rackham. It did not disappoint. Rackham is always a favorite illustrator for me. ( )

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.
Para começar, quero ganatir que Marley estava morto. Sobre isso não havia a menor dúvida.

"God bless us, every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all.
"Bah!" said Scrooge. "Humbug!"
Marley was dead: to begin with.
If you should happen, by any unlikely chance, to know a man more blest in a laugh than Scrooge's nephew, all I can say is I should like to know him too.
[This is when Scrooge is about to meet the Ghost of Christmas Past. The clock has struck 12 and he's wondering if it's noon or midnight, even though it's dark. He's not hearing people rushing around outside, though. Because the story was first published in 1843, this snark must be about the US depression of 1837-1844.]
... This was a great relief, because 'three days after sight of this First of Exchange pay to Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge or his order,' and so forth, would have become a mere United States security if there were no days to count by.
[Scrooge is waiting for the Ghost of Christmas Present to show up in his bedroom, which is filled with a ruddy light.]
... and which, being only light, was more alarming than a dozen ghosts, as he was powerless to make out what it meant, or would be at; and was sometimes apprehensive that he might be at that very moment an interesting case of spontaneous combustion, without having the consolation of knowing it.
[This was about bakers leaving their ovens available, for a small fee, for poor people to cook their dinners on Sundays and others wanting those ovens cold on the Sabbath. Scrooge wanted to know why the Ghost of Christmas Present would want to have those ovens closed on Sundays and deprive poor persons of a chance for their one real meal a week.]
'I seek!' exclaimed the Spirit.
'Forgive me if I am wrong. It has been done in your name, or at least in that of your family,' said Scrooge.
'There are some upon this earth of yours,' returned the Spirit, 'who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.'

He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle, ever afterwards; and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!
Scrooge não voltou a encontrar os espíritos, embora tenha se tornado o homem que melhor sabia festejat o Natal. Oxalá isso aconteça com todos nós! E, como dizia o pequeno Tim, que Deus nos abençoe a todos!
