On Christmas Eve, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of three spirits still to come. Across one long night, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come lead Scrooge through his own life — and the lives of those around him — until he is forced to confront exactly what kind of man he has become. Published in 1843, Dickens's best-loved story invented much of the modern Christmas as we know it, and remains the definitive ghost story of the season.

Charles Dickens (Portsmuth, 1812 – Gadshill, 1870) ha llegado hasta nosotros como el autor más importante e influyente de la literatura victoriana. Sus obras y su peripecia personal, íntimamente relacionadas, plasmaron no sólo el pulso social de su época, también el terrible estado moral de una sociedad atrapada en la desigualdad y las convenciones. Dickens experimentó la miseria, el éxito popular, la cárcel, el hambre... sólo logró cumplir con el más íntimo de sus anhelos, la libertad, entregándose a la literatura. Aunque muchas de sus obras gozaron de un extraordinario favor popular, baste decir que muchas de ellas fueron publicadas por entregas, en formato folletín; serían las críticas entusiastas de George Gissing y G. K. Chesterton las que encumbrarían a Dickens como el autor más importante de la literatura inglesa del siglo XIX.
