    Few days ago I was looking for something easy to read in English. Accidentally I saw this tiny book and I thought: “Why not? It shouldn’t be too hard, I already know the story, like everyone else does.“ It has been easy, actually, but there was more behind the ease, there was much more.. I found it. ... (continue)

    Tra i classici moderni più noti, letti e rivisitati (dato l'elevatissimo tasso di reinterpretabilità - ma anche il tema pur sempre attuale), Christmas Carol - uno dei pochi esponenti della produzione dickensiana a non disporre d'un peso quantificabile in chilogrammi - si rivela un racconto lungo (ma neanche troppo) incredibilmente ben scritto, che al di là d'una piccola serie d'arcaismi brilla per scorrevolezza ed immediatezza; divertentissimo (a tratti davvero esilarante), ma anche profondo - perfino brutale - nella fortissima carica di denuncia sociale in esso contenuta, la Carol può sì essere letta come un invito ad essere più buoni.
    Oppure come un romanzo in cui un autore da canone mondiale ci spiega come la definitiva e ultima ricerca della salvezza sia comunque possibile, attraverso le azioni e l'adempimento del bene, aldilà di vincoli religiosi di sorta.
    Scegliete un pò voi, ma in ogni caso, leggetelo - in English, of course.
    E Buon Natale a tutti.
