Selma Lagerlös

    L'écriture de Selma Lagerlöf se caractérise par son idéalisme élevé, son imagination vive et sa perception spirituelle. S'inspirant profondément du folklore suédois classique, elle a insufflé ces éléments dans ses récits de réalisme magique. Ses histoires explorent souvent des thèmes de foi, de migration et la vie des gens ordinaires. Lagerlöf fut également une figure marquante pour son engagement dans les questions féminines et les causes politiques.

    A Christmas carol
    • HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'I am the Ghost of Christmas Present, ' said the Spirit. 'Look upon me ' A celebration of Christmas, a tale of redemption and a critique on Victorian society, Dickens' atmospheric novella follows the miserly, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge who views Christmas as 'humbug'. It is only through a series of eerie, life-changing visits from the ghost of his deceased business partner Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future that he begins to see the error of his ways. With heart-rending characters, rich imagery and evocative language, the message of A Christmas Carol remains as significant today as when it was first published.
