Summary "Joulun-aatto" by Charles Dickens is a classic novella written in the mid-19th century. The story introduces us to Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted man who despises Christmas and embodies greed and indifference to the suffering of others. The narrative unfolds on Christmas Eve, setting the stage for Scrooge's transformative journey through time and spirit. The opening portion presents the chilling character of Scrooge, who is depicted as a harsh and unyielding individual, lamenting the joy of Christmas and refusing to open his heart to compassion or warmth. As Scrooge navigates his dreary office, he encounters his cheerful nephew and two gentlemen asking for charitable donations, both of which he brusquely rebuffs. The narrative takes a fascinating turn when Scrooge is haunted by the ghost of his former partner, Marley, who, bound in heavy chains, warns him that he will be visited by three spirits. This ominous beginning sets the stage for Scrooge's impending redemption and the exploration of key themes like generosity and the true spirit of Christmas.
