Vždy sedává sám ve svém velkém a chladném domě a zlostně pozoruje rozsvícená okna okolních domů, kde si lidé v útulném kruhu rodin pochutnávají na štědrovečerní hostině. Scrooge si lehne do postele, ale nedokáže usnout. Vtom ho navštíví tři duchové a jeden po druhém ho berou na poučné cesty, které by tomuhle držgrešli měly otevřít oči. Scrooge zjistí, že nic není takové, jak si dosud myslel. Přehodnotí svůj životní postoj, nebo zůstane nadále plný zloby a nenávisti? Povídka Vánoční koleda vyšla poprvé 19. prosince 1843. První vydání se vyprodalo během několika dní a Londýňané stáli hodiny v nekonečných frontách, jen aby si ji mohli poslechnout v podání samotného Charlese Dickense. Čtenáři přijali nevšední příběh s nadšením a dodnes se tvrdí, že tato kniha ve viktoriánské společnosti znovu probudila zájem o vánoční tradice, včetně koled a posílání svátečních blahopřání. Zároveň ve Spojeném království vyvolala nečekanou vlnu dobročinnosti i mezi bohatými průmyslníky, nechvalně známými jako „loupežní baroni“. Autor původně své dílo zamýšlel jako kritiku kapitalistických vykořisťovatelů, dnes však patří k vánoční klasice. Vánoční koleda inspirovala ke vzniku mnohých divadelních her a animovaných nebo hraných filmů a neustále oslovuje malé i velké čtenáře na celém světě.

Během noci se Vydřigrošovi zjeví Vodralův duch a varuje ho, že jeho duše ponese těžká pouta na věčnosti, pokud nezmění své hrabivé způsoby. Předpovídá, že ho budou následovat další tři duchové. Ti Vydřigroše během následující noci skutečně navštíví.První duch, Duch minulých Vánoc, vezme pana Vydřigroše do doby jeho dětství a mládí, což se dotkne lakomcovy něžné stránky. Druhý, Duch současných Vánoc, mu ukáže tři různá místa s cílem vyvolat v obchodníkovi pocit zodpovědnosti. Třetí duch, Duch budoucích Vánoc, mučí Vydřigroše strašnou vizí budoucnosti, jaká ho čeká, pokud se nepoučí a nebude jednat podle toho, co viděl.Kniha byla prvně vydána 19. prosince 1843 s ilustracemi Johna Leeche a setkala se rychle s úspěchem a oslavou kritiků. Příběh byl vnímán jako obžaloba industriálního kapitalismu v 19. století a jako vrácení hodnoty svátkům a veselí ve Velké Británii i v Americe po období pochmurnosti. Vánoční koleda zůstává populární dodnes a byla adaptována ve filmu, opeře a dalších médiích.

Young, handsome and innocent, the aristocratic Dorian is visiting his friend, the kind and gentle painter Basil Hallward, when he meets Lord Henry Wotton.

In front of his beautiful portrait, painted by Hallward, Dorian makes a terrible wish.

eBook: What to expect when you're reading "Great Expectations" may sound like a sequel to the American pregnancy bible "What to Expect When You're Expecting" (1984), but for new readers whose familiarity with the novel might start and end with that one terribly received "South Park" (1997-) episode centered around it, it is intriguing to learn whether Dickens manages to eventually meet the eponymous expectations or crush them in a stroke of social commentary. Speaking of crushing expectations, this book will ultimately answer no such question – being part I of II. For now, meet Pip – a li'l orphan boy around the time of the War of 1812, 1812, with big aspirations despite him being used and abused both at home and on the street. Part I is mainly an introduction to the novel's large host of peculiar characters – one of the first being an escaped convict, and how they affect the lives of a pliable lad of modest means whose only crime it is to dream(!) A textbook coming-of-age story, "Great Expectations" is quite literally one of the great literary classics and has been adapted for film, television and stage numerous times... and at least one time too many (see above).

Nové vydání jednoho z vrcholných Dickensových románů, považovaného za autorovo formálně nejdokonalejší dílo, vybavené desítkami ilustrací tří nejznámějších anglických ilustrátorů 19. a počátku 20. století, s nimiž je Dickensovo dílo neodmyslitelně spjato. Příběh dvou měst, jehož děj se odehrává v Londýně a v Paříži v době před Velkou francouzskou revolucí a během ní, spatřil světlo světa roku 1859. Původně byl vydáván na pokračování v časopise All the Year Round, jejž založil a řídil sám autor. Na pozadí pohnutých osudů ústředních postav – francouzského emigranta Charlese Darnaye, doktora Manetta, jeho dcery Lucie či úředníka Jarvise Lorryho – podává autor mimořádně působivý a emotivní obraz dramatických revolučních časů, kdy se svévole, násilí, běsnění davů a posléze i teror staly běžnou normou. Titulními dvěma městy, v nichž se příběh odehrává, jsou Paříž a Londýn, přičemž anglický klasik líčí Paříž jako centrum nelidskosti a zvráceného běsnění, zatímco Londýn, i přes své stinné stránky, pro něj zůstává městem rozumu a přetrvávající naděje na normální život. Strhující příběh o odvaze, obětavosti, lásce a odplatě ve stínu gilotiny.

The author of 20 much-loved novels and novellas, Charles Dickens combined humour and pathos to explore Victorian society in all its shades. Widely praised for his rich narratives and larger-than-life characters, he was not only a celebrity author but also an admired social reformer. Moving from the refined drawing rooms of the upper classes to the horrors of the workhouse or the filthy back streets of London, Dickens' writings shone a light on the harsh inequalities of the times. The Little Book of Charles Dickens showcases wonderful quotes from the author's writings, alongside fascinating facts about his life and achievements. By turns witty, comic, insightful and wise, this delightful volume is a fitting tribute to a literary giant.

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.After reading Christmas Carol, the notoriously reculsive Thomas Carlyle was "seized with a perfect convulsion of hospitality" and threw not one but two Christmas dinner parties. The impact of the story may not always have been so dramatic but, along with Dickens other Christmas writings, it has had a lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and about the season as a time for celebration, charity, and memory.

Objevné rané nahrávky dirigentské legendy jménem Rafael Kubelík! Symbolicky právě jméno Rafaela Kubelíka otevírá supraphonskou řadu archivních nahrávek s nejvýznamnějšími českými dirigenty. Kubelíkova cesta ke katarzi, kterou představovala legendární Má vlast na prvním svobodném Pražském jaru roku 1990, však trvala více než půl století. Ve dvaceti letech poprvé dirigoval Českou filharmonii, V osmadvaceti (1942) se stal jejím šéfdirigentem. Vzácné nahrávky na tomto 2CD pocházejí z let 1944-1948, před Kubelíkovou emigrací. Z Dvořáka, který patřil k repertoárovým dominantám ČF, se v Kubelíkově podání dochovala interpretačně osobitá nahrávka Osmé symfonie a Klavírního koncertu s bravurním výkonem mladého Rudolfa Firkušného. Kubelík však odvážně uváděl i zcela soudobý repertoár. Živý snímek Šostakovičovy Deváté symfonie zprosince 1945 (tedy tři měsíce po dokončení díla!) je pravděpodobně její vůbec první nahrávkou. Tíživou zkušenost válečných let reflektuje i Martinů Symfonie č. 4. Unikátní snímky Památníku Lidicím a Dobiášova Stalingradu dokreslují atmosféru doby. Kubelíkovy nahrávky ze 40. let už jasně napovídají o legendě, která se po dalších 40 letech před světovými orchestry mohla na jaře 1990 vrátit do svobodné Prahy.
