About this book

The full title of Charles Dickens' most famous work is technically A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost-Story of Christmas. This novella was published on December 19, 1843, and the first edition run of 6000 copies were sold out by Christmas Eve of that year.

The publication of the first edition was fraught with complications, and even though the book was received to positive reviews, profits of the book fell far below Dickens' expectations, and the financial strain caused rifts between Dickens and the original publisher, Chapman & Hall.

Der Weihnachtsabend ist eine der bekanntesten Erzhlungen von Charles Dickens. Sie wurde im Dezember 1843 mit Illustrationen von John Leech erstmals verffentlicht. Die Erzhlung handelt von Ebenezer Scrooge, einem alten, grantigen Geizhals, der in einer einzigen Nacht zunchst Besuch von seinem verstorbenen Teilhaber Jacob Marley und dann von drei weiteren Geistern erhlt, die ihm schlie lich dazu verhelfen, sein Leben zu ndern. Das Buch enthlt stark sozialkritische Tne, mit denen Dickens die Missstnde in England im 19. Jahrhunderts anprangern wollte.

First edition identification

The initial publication of A Christmas Carol was challenged by several issues, and those issues are evident in some of the first edition identification notes. The final product of the first edition was printed with a red cloth binding with gilded pages and yellow endpapers. The very first copies were printed with green endpapers, and those copies are exceptionally rare.

The first edition contains four colored illustrations and four black and white illustrations. In the first edition, Stave I is printed with the roman numeral, while later editions spell out the number to be printed as Stave One.
