Christmas is humbug, Scrooge says - just a time when you find yourself a year older and not a penny richer. The only thing that matters to Scrooge is business, and making money. But on Christmas Eve three spirits come to visit him. They take him travelling on the wings of the night to see the shadows of Christmas past, present, and future - and Scrooge learns a lesson that he will never forget.

Our Mutual Friend centres on an inheritance - Old Harmons profitable dust heaps - and its legatees, young John Harmon, presumed drowned when a body is pulled out of the River Thames, and kindly dustman Mr Boffin, to whom the fortune defaults. With brilliant satire, Dickens portrays a dark, macabre London, inhabited by such disparate characters as Gaffer Hexam, scavenging the river for corpses; enchanting, mercenary Bella Wilfer; the social climbing Veneerings; and the unscrupulous street-trader Silas Wegg. The novel is richly symbolic in its vision of death and renewal in a city dominated by the fetid Thames, and the corrupting power of money.This edition uses the text of the first volume edition of 1865, and includes the original illustrations, a chronology, a list for further reading, and appendices on the illustrations and serial plans. Adrian Pooles introduction examines biblical allusions and the central themes of Our Mutual Friend.

El interés de Dickens por lo fantástico permaneció vivo a lo largo de su vida y, a pesar de que ha sido considerado tradicionalmente como un escritor realista, en los últimos tiempos se reconoce la importancia de los elementos macabros y sobrenaturales en su obra, en la cual se lleva hacia un mayor grado de sofisticacion el retrato de la mente criminal, iluminando con ello aspectos hasta entonces no desvelados de la ficcion. Gran parte de los cuentos de fantasmas de Dickens estan intercalados en sus novelas y son referidos por algun personaje inmerso en la trama; otros fueron publicados en Navidad, siguiendo la tradicion victoriana de ocupar la velada de Nochebuena escuchando y contando historias de terror y de aparecidos. En todas ellas Dickens hace complice al lector, le sienta al amor de un buen fuego y le hace beber de las fuentes del autentico relato de tradicion oral.

Canción de Navidad ha pasado a la historia como el compendio del estilo dickensiano, marcado por el realismo, la recreación de los sentimientos y el hálito poético que embellece sus descripciones. Estamos ante un conocidisimo cuento cuya estructura se ha convertido ya en un arquetipo, ante un estremecedor relato en el que se combinan con singular acierto el realismo con elementos de la novela gotica (el misterio, el horror, el milagro) y una sensibilidad literaria inigualable. La sola mencion del avaro mister Scrooge y de los sucesivos fantasmas que le visitan evoca en todo lector un ambiente acogedor e inolvidable.

Born and raised in the appalling deprivation of the workhouse, orphan Oliver escapes the drudgery of apprenticeship and heads for London, only to fall into the hands of the notorious Fagin and his gang of child thieves. But Oliver is an innocent at heart, and the attempts by Fagin and the impudently witty Artful Dodger to teach him the tricks of the pick-pocket's trade lead only to his almost immediate capture. His subsequent rescue, by the kindly Mr. Brownlow, is only the beginning of a series of adventures that lead him to an incredible discovery.
