A new version of Charles Dickens's celebrated tale, A Christmas Carol, is about to hit bookstores, but with an original interpretation that draws from the heart of Christmas tradition. 'Mo' vene Natale' is the reinterpretation by author Tonino Scala, who has revisited the classic in a completely new way.
A Classic Revisited
This edition, published by Edizioni MEA, isn't a simple translation or abridgement of the original text, but a genuine reinterpretation. The setting retains Dickens's traditional plot, but the language used is a lively blend of contemporary slang, characteristic of the streets and alleys, which becomes the protagonist of the story.
