圣诞故事集 (Christmas Stories)

从1843年到1848年间（1847年除外），狄更斯每年圣诞节发表一部中篇小说，共得五篇，集结出版后名为《圣诞故事集》。这些小说绝不仅仅是纯粹的应景式作品，它们集中表现了作者调和社会矛盾的梦想褐感伤失望的情绪。仅以其中最著名的《圣诞欢歌》为例，故事描写了一个吝啬的老商人再圣诞夜被三个幽灵带着遍览穷苦人的善意，狠心人的下场，于是从此变为慷慨仁爱之人。......《圣诞故事集》在英国深入人心，其中的人物几乎家喻户晓。许多评论家认为，它的出版，标志着狄更斯的创作进入了繁荣期。(From 1843 to 1848 (except 1847), Dickens published a novella at Christmas every year, a total of five articles was published and called Christmas stories. These novels were not just pure occasional works, they focused on the performance of the dream to reconcile social contradictions and sentimental disappointment of the author. Only the famous Christmas Carol as an example, it was a story that on Christmas Eve a stingy old businessman was taken by three ghosts to look at the poor people in good faith and changed from cruel fate to a generous caring person. It is well-known In Britain and the characters are almost household names. Many critics believe that its publication marks the creation of Dickens's prosperity.)
