"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is a novella published in 1843. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser visited by the ghost of his former business partner and three Christmas spirits. Through these supernatural encounters, Scrooge confronts his past, present, and future, forcing him to examine his cold-hearted life. The tale explores whether a selfish man can truly redeem himself and transform into someone kinder and more generous toward others.
