    Scrooge

    Charles Dickens publiceerde 'A Christmas Carol' op 19 december 1843. Deze novelle behoort tot de grote klassieken en is talloze keren bewerkt voor theater, film en televisie. A Christmas Carol is een Victoriaanse allegorie over een oude en verbitterde vrek, Ebenezer Scrooge, die in de nacht voor Kerstmis een aantal dromen heeft en daardoor tot inkeer komt. Scrooge is een financier en geldwisselaar die zich zijn leven lang heeft gericht op het verkrijgen van meer geld en verder niets. Hij veracht andere zaken dan geld, inclusief vriendschap, liefde en de gedachte van het kerstfeest. Dick Matena schetst in dit beeldverhaal het winterse Londen in kleurrijke details en brengt het Victoriaanse tijdperk op bijzondere wijze tot leven. Zijn stripversie van 'A Christmas Carol' is een ode aan Charles Dickens. En een must voor een ieder die op de hoogte is van onze vaderlandse literatuur. In tal van personages zijn figuren uit de literaire wereld te herkennen, zoals Gerrit Komrij als Scrooge, Jan Wolkers als Marley, A.F.Th. van der Heijden als een van de geesten, Peter van Straaten en Hafi d Bouazza. Voor deze uitgave heeft Matena de tekst en het beeld geheel bewerkt, waardoor zowel de leesbaarheid als ook het artwork uitstekend tot hun recht komen. Ook is het verhaal opnieuw geletterd en voorzien van een extra dossier. Kortom: een prachtig album, rijk gedetailleerd, stijlvol en met de respectvolle toewijding die past bij Dick Matena.

    Cuento de Navidad

    Cuento de Navidad, publicado en 1843, articula una fábula moral en torno a Ebenezer Scrooge, avaro londinense cuya conversión se produce mediante la visita de tres espíritus. Dickens combina realismo social, melodrama gótico y alegoría cristiana para denunciar la indiferencia ante la pobreza en la Inglaterra victoriana. Su estilo, ágil y teatral, alterna humor, pathos y una imaginería memorable, situando la Navidad como espacio de memoria, comunidad y reforma ética. Charles Dickens, marcado por una infancia de precariedad y trabajo en una fábrica tras el encarcelamiento de su padre por deudas, conocía de primera mano las heridas de la desigualdad urbana. Su experiencia periodística y su sensibilidad hacia niños, obreros y marginados alimentan la crítica social del relato. La obra surge también en un contexto de debates sobre beneficencia, industrialización y leyes de pobres, que Dickens transforma en literatura popular de alto alcance moral. Recomiendo este libro tanto al lector general como al estudioso de la narrativa decimonónica. Su brevedad no disminuye su complejidad simbólica ni su potencia emocional; al contrario, concentra una reflexión perdurable sobre culpa, compasión y responsabilidad social. Leerlo permite comprender por qué Dickens convirtió una festividad doméstica en un mito moderno de renovación humana.
