El libro que inspiró la pelÃcula Un volumen con todos los relatos navideños de Charles Dickens, incluido el célebre «Canción de Navidad . Traducción de Nuria Salinas Introducción de Michael Slater, profesor de la Universidad de Londres Se ha dicho que Charles Dickens inventó la celebración de la Navidad tal y como la conocemos, y tal vez ningún otro escritor ha evocado con tanta maestrÃa el espÃritu a la vez jubiloso y elegÃaco de esa fecha. Inspirado en la edición inglesa de 1852, el presente volumen reúne el célebre «Canción de Navidad y otros cuatro relatos de ambientación navideña: «Las campanas , «El Grillo del Hogar , «La batalla de la vida y «El hechizado . En todos ellos destacan los temas principales del universo dickensiano: la caridad, la infancia, las leyendas populares, las desigualdades sociales, los sueños y la redención personal. Además de la cuidada traducción de Nuria Salinas, esta edición incluye la introducción de Michael Slater, catedrático emérito de literatura victoriana en Birkbeck College de la Universidad de Londres y uno de los mayores expertos mundiales en la vida y la obra del autor inglés. Gracias a sus notas, la belleza de una obra de ficción imprescindible llega acompañada del conocimiento preciso de toda una época. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired the movie. A volume with all of Charles Dickens' Christmas tales, including the famous Christmas Carol. Translated by Nuria Salinas. Introduction by Michael Slater, London University professor.

Inspired in the 1852 English edition, this volume features the famous Christmas Carol and another four stories set around Christmas time: The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man. All of them highlight the main themes in Dickens universe: charity, childhood, folktales, social inequality, dreams, and personal redemption. In addition to Nuria Salinas' careful translation, this edition includes Michael Slater's introduction, professor emeritus of Victorian literature at Birkbeck College, University of London, and one of the greatest world experts in the life and works of the English author.
