Weihnachtsabend (Eine Geistergeschichte)

Weihnachtsabend (Eine Geistergeschichte), originally published in 1843 as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, addresses the plight of the poor in Victorian England. The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Marley, and three spirits on Christmas Eve. These encounters lead Scrooge to reflect on his life and ultimately transform him into a kinder, more generous person. The novella is notable for its social commentary and has become a classic representation of the Christmas spirit.
