书籍简介

备受喜爱的圣诞经典原稿的版本。

每年节假日，位于曼哈顿的历史悠久的摩根图书馆和博物馆都会展出其非凡收藏中的皇冠上的明珠之一：查尔斯·狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》的原稿，其中有狄更斯亲笔所做的详细修改、删减和插入。在这里，《圣诞颂歌：原稿版》初次以精美的贸易版本呈现了这份珍贵手稿的摹本，以及故事的排版、摩根博物馆首席文学策展人关于故事历史的精彩介绍和科尔姆-托宾赞颂其永恒魅力的新前言。

《圣诞颂歌》讲述了自私冷漠的吝啬鬼私刻鲁挤在圣诞节夜晚的奇遇。小说运用丰富奇特的想象、精炼生动的描写，在离奇又温馨的故事中融合幽默与伤感的笔调。这是狄更斯深入人心的小说之一，与他的《教堂钟声》《炉边蟋蟀》一起奠定了现代圣诞节在西方世界的内涵与地位。

A first-ever trade edition of the original manuscript of the beloved Christmas classic.

Every year at the holidays, the historic Morgan Library & Museum in Manhattan displays one of the crown jewels of its extraordinary collection: the original manuscript of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, with its detailed emendations, deletions, and insertions in Dickens’s own hand. Here, for the first time in a beautiful trade edition, A Christmas Carol: The Original Manuscript Edition presents a facsimile of that invaluable manuscript, along with a typeset version of the story, a fascinating introduction by the Morgan’s chief literary curator on the history of the story, and a new foreword by Colm Tóibín celebrating its timeless appeal.

作者简介

狄更斯(1812-1870)，继莎士比亚之后对于世界文学影响大的作家之一。其高超、富有节奏感的叙事方式，生动记录社会现实(英国维多利亚时代)的能力以及作品中积极倡导的人道主义精神，都是狄更斯的标志性特色。代表作包括《匹克威克外传》(1837)、《雾都孤儿》(又名《奥列弗·退斯特》1838)、《老古玩店》(1841)、《马丁·瞿述伟》(1844)、《大卫·科波菲尔》(1850)、《艰难时世》(1854)、《双城记》(1859)、《远大前程》(1861)等。从1843年到1848年间，狄更斯几乎在每年圣诞节都发表一个与节日有关的中篇小说，其中《圣诞颂歌》具有极其特殊的地位：书中的情节和人物在西方家喻户晓，一百多年来积聚的“人气”使其成为狄更斯的小说中深入人心的一部。文学评论家认为，《圣诞颂歌》的发表是狄更斯的创作生涯中的重大转折点；而社会学家则相信，这部作品深刻地改变了现代圣诞节在西方世界的地位和价值，狄更斯本人也因此被称为“发明圣诞节”的人。

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 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.
