Charles Dickens is known not only for his novels, but also for his short stories, particularly "A Christmas Carol." In the latter genre, interestingly, these stories had a powerful commercial impulse, for they were serialized in magazines at the Christmas season."The Cricket on the Hearth," "The Battle of Life" and "The Haunted Man" were written for the Christmas market, and all lay emphasis on family love and the delights of home. But there is more to these stories than surface sentimentality: their eager anticipation by a whole nation tells us much about the age Dickens lived in. And these stories never would have survived without roots and power. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

1) The Cricket on the Hearth - 4*
Sentimental but so enjoyable. This story was the only one of the 3 I remember reading before...
2) The Battle of Life - 3*
I can't decide if this story was a bit too melodramatic or just a tad predicatable... in either case, it seemed to have little to do with the Christmas season (except for the family sentiment).
3) The Haunted Man - 3.5*
Good story though I am not sure that I agree with the moral of the story... ( )
