Sinopse

Kindle a Fire Against the Winter Chill with the Stories That Created Christmas.

Before the modern holiday was defined by tinsel and toys, it was a season of "carols, candles, and ghosts." This comprehensive collection brings together the complete seasonal works of the masters of the genre, led by the incomparable Charles Dickens. These stories transformed the holiday from a simple date on the calendar into a worldwide celebration of mercy, family, and the human heart's capacity for change.

Inside this festive collection, you will discover:

The Architecture of the "Carol": Experience the definitive blueprints for the modern holiday story—where a hardened heart is melted by memory, pity, and a vision of the future.

The Tradition of the Winter Ghost: Explore the eerie, "cozy-chilling" world of the Victorian fireside, where spirits serve as moral guides and the supernatural helps us see the natural world more clearly.

Social Conscience in the Snow: Delve into narratives that use the holiday backdrop to champion the poor and the marginalized, reminding readers that "charity, mercy, and forbearance" are the true business of mankind.

The Atmosphere of the Hearth: Immerse yourself in the sensory details of a 19th-century Christmas—the steam of the pudding, the glow of the fire, and the joyous noise of a crowded family table.

These stories are the reason we say "Merry Christmas." Their influence on our cultural imagination is permanent, making this volume an essential cornerstone for any library of classic literature, holiday traditions, and inspirational storytelling.

Invite the spirits of the season into your home. Buy "The Complete Christmas Books and Stories" today and rediscover the true meaning of the holiday.

    Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 Gothic novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where, about a century earlier, Johann Konrad Dippel, an alchemist, had engaged in experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation for her companions, particularly for her lover and future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley.

    Soon after two o'clock one night, long ago, the cook, pale and agitated, rushed unexpectedly into my study and informed me that Madame Mimotih, the old woman who owned the house next door, was sitting in her kitchen."She begs you to go in to her, sir…" said the cook, panting. "Something bad has happened about her lodger… He has shot himself or hanged himself…""What can I do?" said I. "Let her go for the doctor or for the police!"
    "How is she to look for a doctor! She can hardly breathe, and she has huddled under the stove, she is so frightened… You had better go round, sir."
    I put on my coat and hat and went to Madame Mimotih's house. The gate towards which I directed my steps was open. After pausing beside it, uncertain what to do, I went into the yard without feeling for the porter's bell. In the dark and dilapidated porch the door was not locked. I opened it and walked into the entry. Here there was not a glimmer of light, it was pitch dark, and, moreover, there was a marked smell of incense. Groping my way out of the entry I knocked my elbow against something made of iron, and in the darkness stumbled against a board of some sort which almost fell to the floor. At last the door covered with torn baize was found, and I went into a little hall...
