Resumen libro
The book is about an old, bad tempered and miser man, named Ebenezer
Scrooge. Scrooge had a life with very little love and with few important people.
He devoted his life to becoming rich. In his adulthood he always lived alone, he
did not like people. He had only a business partner called Jacob Marley but
unfortunately did seven years ago.
The story began one cold Christmas Eve, Scrooge is unkind to the people who
work for him, then refuses to give to charity, and then is rude to his nephew
when he invites him to spend Christmas with him.
When Scrooge gets home, he is visited by the ghost of his old business partner
Jacob Marley – and then by three ghosts! They are the Ghosts of Christmas
Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future.
The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge on a journey through Christmases
from his past, taking Scrooge to see himself as an unhappy child and a young
man more in love with money than his wiife.
The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge his clerk, Bob Cratchit’s family.
At Bob Cratchit’s house Scrooge sees Tiny Tim, who is very ill, but full of spirit.
The ghost then takes him to see his nephew Fred’s Christmas celebrations which he had been invited to, but rebuffed.
Finally, The Ghost of Christmas Future terrifies Scrooge by showing him visions
of his own death…
The ghosts’ journey through time teaches Scrooge the error of his ways. When
he wakes up on Christmas Day he is full of excitement, and buys the biggest
turkey in the shop for the Cratchit family before spending the day with his
nephew, full of the joys of Christmas.
