It takes Charles Dickens. But Scrooge, one of the most iconic characters ever written, is more than a synonym for avarice and miserliness, more than an allegory for the worst excesses of capitalism: he is an embodiment of the radical human capacity for change. Therein lies Dickens’ unsurpassable genius. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eA Christmas Carol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a moral experiment in miniature. In it, the arc of human frailty and redemption is compressed into a feverish, incandescent novella, wrapped up in the skin of a captivating ghost story. This eloquent graphic edition captures the paradoxical beauty of Dickens’ prose in all its startling range: the cityscape brims with texture; the ghosts are a fierce yet benign presence; and Scrooge’s journey unfolds with shadows intact. Yet, the final turn glows with hard-won joy, an exuberant reminder of literature’s power to both unsettle and uplift. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47140249370775,"sku":"9788199226654","price":735.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788199226654.webp?v=1773141371","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-christmas-carol-9788199226654","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
