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.

Traduit par Mlle de Saint-Romain et Andr de Goy, sous la direction de Paul Lorain (1890).

Cantique de Nol (A Christmas Carol), galement publi en franais sous les titres Un chant de Nol, Chanson de Nol ou Conte de Nol, est le premier et le plus clbre des contes crits par Charles Dickens. Rdig en mme temps que Martin Chuzzlewit et paru en dcembre 1843 chez Chapman and Hall avec des illustrations de John Leech, il est considr comme son oeuvre la plus parfaite . Aussitt, Thackeray le salue comme un bienfait national . Acclam par les critiques comme par le public, sa popularit n'a jamais faibli. Son protagoniste, Scrooge, reste sans doute le personnage dickensien le plus universellement connu et, grce ce livre, Dickens, incarn en une sorte de Pre Nol pour le monde anglo-saxon, a t dcrit comme l' inventeur de la fte qui lui est associe.

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.
