Charles Dickens da, con su Cuento de Navidad, forma a nuestras ideas sobre la Navidad. La historia se centra en un solitario avaro, Ebenezer Scrooge, al que una serie de visitantes fantasmales le enseñan el verdadero significado de la festividad y le dan una segunda oportunidad. Una historia plagada de ternura y redención humana.
En el libro no solo se rescatan las tradiciones que llegaron hasta la sociedad victoriana sino que se consolidan las nuevas costumbres que han llegado hasta nuestros días. Centrado en la temática de la navidad, llega más allá de la festividad hasta exponer el espíritu humano y las virtudes fraternales, incluso con aquellos que estaban excluidos de la sociedad, como los pobres.
La prosa de Dickens logra una narración que invita constantemente a tornar la página hasta su tan esperada conclusión. Esta nueva traducción al español actualiza el lenguaje de una obra maestra que desde siempre ha sida apta para todas las edades.
