Over dit e-boek

Celebrate the spirit of the season with this complimentary edition of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol–the perfect companion for a cozy night by the fire. Includes an exclusive excerpt from Marley, Jon Clinch’s masterful reimagining of A Christmas Carol:

“In Marley, again Jon Clinch shows his genius, taking Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and turning it inside out, revealing its contemporary wonder, making the characters and actions of both Scrooge and Marley entirely modern, without losing a beat of Dickens’ Victorian music.” —Robert Goolrick, New York Times bestselling author of A Reliable Wife


“I am the Ghost of Christmas Present,” said the Spirit. “Look upon me!”

Since its publication in 1843, A Christmas Carol has become a cultural touchstone, imparting a message as relevant to our world today as it was in Dickens’ own Victorian age. As it tells the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve, the book reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. This timeless tale of transformation and redemption makes a perfect gift for anyone who loves great storytelling.

Tis gratis en natuurlijk wil je dan eens proberen, als ik mijn kredietkaartgegevens moet geven is het toch niet meer gratis, zo sluiten ze mensen uit zonder kredietkaartgegevens, dus gun belofte is loos.

Fantastisch verhaal maar inderdaad; waarom creditcardgegevens nodig voor iets wat gratis aangeboden wordt. Ik heb geen creditcard;wil er absoluut ook geen; dus gaan dit soort aanbiedingen aan mij voorbij... Er zijn er helaas veel meer die gratis aanbieden en toch gegevens vragen....NOPE!

Dit is stom ik denk weet je wat ik download een boek. Maar omdat ik geen creditcard/betaalpas/watever heb kan dat niet.

Over de auteur

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833, he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.
