Synopsis:
Since 1917 The Modern Library prides itself as ''The modern Library of the world s Best Books'' . Featuring introductions by leading writers, stunning translations, scholarly endnotes and reading group guides. --An immediate bestseller when it was first published in December 1843, A Christmas Carol has endured ever since as a perennial Yuletide favorite. Charles Dickens's beloved tale about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill through a haunting Christmas Eve encounter with four ghosts, is a heartwarming celebration of the spirit of Christmas. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition also includes two other popular Christmas stories by Dickens: The Chimes,in which a man, persuaded by hypocritical cant that the poor deserve their misery, is shown what his pessimistic resignation might lead to in a vision conjured by the pealing of bells, and The Haunted Man, Dickens's last Christmas tale, which features one of his great comic families, the Tetterbys.
About the Author: John Irving is the author of numerous novels, including The Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and The Fourth Hand. He lives in Vermont and Toronto.
