Synopsis "Cuentos de Navidad (in Spanish)"

Una preciosa edición especial de los relatos navideños de Charles Dickens, incluido el célebre «Canción de Navidad» Se ha dicho que Charles Dickens inventó la Navidad tal y como la conocemos, y sin duda ningún otro escritor ha evocado con su maestría el espíritu jubiloso y elegíaco de esa fecha. El presente volumen reúne el célebre relato «Canción de Navidad» junto con otros cuatro de ambientación festiva: «Las campanas», «El Grillo del Hogar», «La batalla de la vida» y «El hechizado». Los temas principales del universo dickensiano, como la caridad, la infancia, las creencias populares, la injusticia social, los sueños y la redención personal, aparecen en estos cuentos con un asombroso toque fantástico. El conjunto es un libro tan emblemático de las festividades como capaz de deleitar a los lectores durante todo el año.

Charles Dickens (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870) was born in Portsmouth and was the eldest son of a Royal Navy clerk. At twelve, his father's imprisonment for debt forced him to work in a blacking factory. His education was sporadic: he taught himself shorthand, worked as a clerk in a law office, and eventually became a parliamentary correspondent for the Morning Chronicle.

Coming from a humble family, "good old Charles" did not receive formal education until he was nine, and was heavily criticized by the critics of the time for being too self-taught. His life took an unexpected turn with his father's imprisonment for debts, moving his family to live with him in jail, allowed at that time by British laws. At the age of 12, he was already considered fit to start working in a dye factory. Although his family's situation had improved, his mother insisted he keep working there, inspiring him to write one of his masterpieces, David Copperfield.

His articles, later collected in Scenes from London Life by "Boz" (1836-1837), were very successful, and with the appearance in 1837 of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Dickens became a true publishing phenomenon. Novels such as Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), and Barnaby Rudge (1841) gained enormous popularity, as did some travel chronicles, such as Pictures from Italy (1846). With Dombey and Son (1846-1848) he began his mature period, of which good examples are David Copperfield (1849-1850), his first novel in the first person and his favorite, in which he developed some autobiographical episodes; Bleak House (1852-1853); Little Dorrit (1855-1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1861), and Our Mutual Friend (1864-1865). He died at Gad's Hill, his country house in Higham, in the county of Kent.
