Recensione:
Reverend Frederick Buechner author of On the Road with the Archangel and Listening to Your Life Perhaps the most touching aspect of Charles Dickens's The Life of Our Lord is how in it he sets all his literary powers aside and tells the Gospel story in the simple, artless language of any father telling it to his children. It is not surprising, remembering his own troubled childhood as he was surely remembering it himself, that he sums up the Christian message by saying that it is to do good even to those who do evil to us and to be always gentle, merciful, and forgiving.
L'autore:
Charles Dickens is one of the world's most revered novelists, and certainly the writer most associated with the Christmas season. But this important piece of Dickens's work, kept stowed away during his lifetime, never received the fame of his other holiday books. As endearing and inspiring as his world-famous classic A Christmas Carol, The Life of Our Lord is destined to find its place in our hearts and under our trees.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "Charles Dickens's" other "Christmas classic, with a new introduction by Dickens's great-great-grandson, Gerald Charles Dickens." Charles Dickens wrote "The Life of Our Lord" during the years 1846-1849, just about the time he was completing "David Copperfield." In this charming, simple retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, adapted from the Gospel of St. Luke, Dickens hoped to teach his young children about religion and faith. Since he wrote it exclusively for his children, Dickens refused to allow publication. For eighty-five years the manuscript was guarded as a precious family secret, and it was handed down from one relative to the next. When Dickens died in 1870, it was left to his sister-in-law, Georgina Hogarth. From there it fell to Dickens's son, Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, with the admonition that it should not be published while any child of Dickens lived. Just before the 1933 holidays, Sir Henry, then the only living child of Dickens, died, leaving his father's manuscript to his wife and children. He also bequeathed to them the right to make the decision to publish "The Life of Our Lord." By majority vote, Sir Henry's widow and children decided to publish the book in London. In 1934, Simon & Schuster published the first American edition, which became one of the year's biggest bestsellers.
