Book excerpt: “The Ghost Stories of Charles Dickens” is a collection of twenty of Charles Dickens's best ghost stories, including his famous “Christmas Carol”. A fantastic teller of macabre tales, Dickens presents his full gothic talents in this chilling collection.

Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812–1870) was an English writer and social critic famous for having created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters. His works became unprecedentedly popular during his life, and today he is commonly regarded as the greatest Victorian-era novelist. Although perhaps better known for such works as “Great Expectations” and “A Christmas Carol”, Dickens first gained success with the 1836 serial publication of “The Pickwick Papers”, which turned him almost overnight into an international literary celebrity thanks to his humour, satire, and astute observations concerning society and character. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Download or read book THREE GHOST STORIES by Charles Dickens Annotated Illustrated written by Charles Dickens and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a haunted story with a Christmas twist written by Charles Dickens...and five other authors! In this lesson, you'll learn more about the mini-stories in ~''The Haunted House,~'' and meet the stories' characters. Charles Dickens is well known for his great works, including A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations, but did you know he knew his way around a portmanteau as well? If you don't know what that means, relax. It's a fancy way of saying that two words--or in this case, two (or more) stories--are combined to make one bigger story. And that's the way the ''The Haunted House'' is put together. Charles Dickens co-authored The Haunted House with five other writers. charles, dickens, haunted, house, portmanteau Billed as a short story, the writing is actually a collection of short stories with the same plot, blended together to make one cohesive tale. Not only did Charles Dickens contribute the beginning and end of the tale, which was first published in 1859 in the magazine All the Year Round, but he solicited help from other authors including Hesba Stretton, George Augustus Sala, Adelaide Anne Procter, Wilkie Collins, and Elizabeth Gaskell. Let's take a closer look at Dickens' portions of the story, which tie together the rest of the writing. "The Signal-Man" is a first-person horror/mystery story by Charles Dickens, first published as part of the Mugby Junction collection in the 1866 Christmas edition of All the Year Round. The railway signal-man of the title tells the narrator of an apparition that has been haunting him. Each spectral appearance precedes a tragic event on the railway on which the signalman works. The signalman's work is at a signal-box in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance on a lonely stretch of the railway line, and he controls the movements of passing trains. When there is danger, his fellow signalmen alert him by telegraph and alarms. Three times, he receives phantom warnings of danger when his bell rings in a fashion that only he can hear. Each warning is followed by the appearance of the spectre, and then by a terrible accident. The first accident involves a terrible collision between two trains in the tunnel. Dickens may have based this incident on the Clayton Tunnel crash[1] that occurred in 1861, five years before he wrote the story. Readers in 1866 would have been familiar with this major disaster. The second warning involves the mysterious death of a young woman on a passing train. The final warning is a premonition of the signalman's own death. "The Trial for Murder" is a short story written by Charles Dickens. It was originally published under the title "To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt" as a chapter in Dr. Marigold's Prescriptions in an extra Christmas volume of the weekly literary magazine, All the Year Round. It was later published in 1866 in a collection of ghost stories known as "Three Ghost Stories", along with "The Haunted House" and "The Signalman".

B 첫 번째 단편 유령의 집(The Haunted House)은 찰스 디킨스가 1859년 12월 13일 크리스마스를 기해 발표한 작품으로, 2개의 하위 목차 The Mortals In The House와 The Ghost In Master B.’S Room로 구성되어 있으며, 분량도 가장 많습니다. 주인공 화자가 친구가 우연찮게 발견한 철도 정류장 근처의 집에서 머무르게 되는데, 이 집이 바로 유령이 보인다는 이유로 사람들에게 버려진 유령의 집(The Haunted House)이였습니다. 그러나 화자는 여동생 패티(Patty)와 잠시 머무를 집이 급하게 필요했기에 부득이하게 머무르기로 합니다. 그들은 유령에 대한 공포감을 지울 수 없어, 7명의 친구를 초대해 게임을 하면서 밤을 지새워 보기로 합니다. 각각의 친구들은 서로 다른 기묘한 경험을 하게 되는데...?! 런던 동쪽 채텀(Chatham)에 위치한 디킨스 월드(Dickens World)에 유령의 집(The Haunted House)을 모티브로 한 체험관 1859년 유령의 집(The Haunted House of 1859)이 있습니다. 2021년 기준 폐업 중. Ah me, ah me! No other ghost has haunted the boy’s room, my friends, since I have occupied it, than the ghost of my own childhood, the ghost of my own innocence, the ghost of my own airy belief. Many a time have I pursued the phantom: never with this man’s stride of mine to come up with it, never with these man’s hands of mine to touch it, never more to this man’s heart of mine to hold it in its purity. And here you see me working out, as cheerfully and thankfully as I may, my doom of shaving in the glass a constant change of customers, and of lying down and rising up with the skeleton allotted to me for my mortal companion. 두 번째 단편 살인자 재판(The Trial For Murder)은 닥터 매리골드의 처방(Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions)(1865)의 일부로 법정에 참가한 ‘배심원들이 살해된 남자의 유령을 본다.’는 독특한 설정의 이야기입니다. 배심원 중 하나인 어느 평범한 남자의 시선으로 진행되는 짤막한 단편으로 유죄를 선고받은 살인범 또한 자신이 살해한 이의 유령을 매일 밤 봤다는 고백과 함께 마무리되지요. “My Lord, I knew I was a doomed man, when the Foreman of my Jury came into the box. My Lord, I knew he would never let me off, because, before I was taken, he somehow got to my bedside in the night, woke me, and put a rope round my neck.” 여배우와의 밀애 중 스테이플허스트 철도 사고(Staplehurst rail crash)(1864)에 휘말리다?! : 찰스 디킨스는 우리의 상호친구(Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens)(1865)를 집필할 당시 이미 청년 시절처럼 왕성하게 글을 쓰지 못하는 상태였습니다. 설상가상으로 그의 애인인 여배우 엘렌 터난(Ellen Lawless Ternan)(1839~1914)과 그녀의 어머니와 밀애를 즐기던 중 1865년 6월 9일 스테이플허스트 철도 사고(Staplehurst rail crash)(1864)에 휘말렸고, 이로 인해서 원고 작업에 적지 않은 스트레스를 받았다고 고백했습니다. 그는 마흔 명이 다치고, 10명이 사망한 와중에도 사고가 수습되기까지 승객들을 돌보았지만, 2주간 심하게 앓으며 목소리조차 내지 못할 정도로 심각한 정신적인 충격을 받았습니다. 이로 인해 1865년 8월호에 실을 16번째 원고의 분량이 조금 모자랐는데, 이는 ‘프로작가’ 찰스 디킨스로써 잊을 수 없는 굴욕이였습니다. 기차 사고 때문이라고 할 수는 없겠으나, 그는 사고로부터 불과 5년 후, 58세의 나이로 사망하였습니다. 번외적으로 찰스 디킨스는 엘렌 터난과 정식으로 결혼하지는 않았으나, 그녀에게 천 파운드(£1,000)의 현금을 비롯한 유산을 신탁 기금(a trust fund)을 통해 증여하였습니다. 머그비 교차로(Mugby Junction by Charles Dickens)(1866)와 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man) : 가장 유명한 작품은 세 번째 단편 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man)으로, 이는 찰스 디킨스와 여러 저자가 공저한 머그비 교차로(Mugby Junction by Charles Dickens)(1866)의 일부입니다. 월간지 연중무휴(All Year Round)에 연재된 후 단행본으로 출판되었습니다. 기차는 19세기 영국에서 최고의 선진적인 교통수단이자 여행수단으로 각광받은 동시에 기존의 마차에 비해 심각한 인명사고를 발생시킬 수 있는 위험한 탈 것이라는 이중적인 의미를 가지고 있었습니다. 찰스 디킨스는 실제로 스테이플허스트 철도 사고(Staplehurst rail crash)(1865)를 겪은 바 있으며, 자신의 경험과 기존의 철도 사건을 모티브로 미스터리 단편 시리즈 머그비 교차로(Mugby Junction by Charles Dickens)(1866)를 직접 기획하고 집필하였습니다. 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man)은 기차의 안전한 운행을 위하여 신호를 주고받는 종사자 - 신호수(信號手)를 일컫는 표현입니다. 작중 등장하는 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man)은 대형 기차사건이 발생할 때마다 유령이 나타났고, 그로 인하여 사건이 나타났다고 화자에게 고백하는 형식으로 이야기가 진행됩니다. 소설에 등장하는 기차 사건은 ‘영국 역사상 최악의 기차 사건’으로 손꼽히는 클레이톤 터널 사건(Clayton Tunnel rail crash)(1861)을 모티브로 삼고 있으며 당시 무려 176명이 다치고, 23명이 사망하였습니다. 이는 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man)이 서로 주고받는 신호와 이에 대한 해석에 있어서 지나치게 짧은 시간이 주어졌고, 그들이 24시간 연속 근무라는 과중한 업무에 시달린 결과로 이후 기차 운행과 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man)의 업무 시간을 재편하는데 큰 영향을 미쳤습니다. 디킨스는 1866년 리버풀로 향하는 기차에서 화재로 인하여 럭비역(Rugby, Warwickshire)에 잠시 정차하였는데, 당시 카페에서 받은 불친절도 작품의 소재로 활용하였습니다. 영국을 넘어서 영미권 전역에 명성을 떨치는 찰스 디킨스로써는 상상도 하지 못할 무례가 그에게는 또 하나의 작품 소재가 된 셈입니다. 소설에 등장하는 시그널 맨(The Signal-Man)은 Barbox Brothers & Co.에서 평생 근무한 은퇴자가 철도를 타고 은퇴여행을 다니며 겪은 미스터리한 사건을 소재로 8편의 단편을 묶은 머그비 교차로(Mugby Junction by Charles Dickens)(1866)의 네 번째 이야기입니다. 1번 지선(No. 1 Branch Line)부터 5번 지선(No. 5 Branch Line)까지 각기 다른 작가의 이야기가 기차 지선이란 매개체를 통해 하나의 작품으로 연결되는 독특한 구성이 매력적입니다. -목차(Index)- 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 조명화 편집장의 18가지 키워드로 읽는 찰스 디킨스(Charles Dickens) 01. 공장노동자 출신의 위대한 영국인(100 Great British Heroes) 02. 크리스마스의 아버지(Father Christmas)? 크리스마스를 발명한 작가(The man who invented Christmas)! 03. 빈자들의 친구, 아이들의 후원자, 매춘부의 동정자(Sympathiser) 04. 동화작가 안데르센(Andersen)은 왜 디킨스 집에서 5주나 머물렀을까? 05. 유네스코 세계유산(1987) 영국 런던 웨스트민스터 사원(Westminster Abbey)에서 고이 영면하소서 06. 디킨스답다! 디킨지안(Dickensian)! 07. 크리스마스 캐럴(A Christmas Carol in Prose ; Being a Ghost Story of Christmas)(1843) 08. 두 도시 이야기(A Tale of Two Cities)(1859) 08-1. 크리스토퍼 놀란(Christopher Nolan)의 다크 나이트 라이즈(The Dark Knight Rises)(2012) 08-2. 토머스 칼라일(Thomas Carlyle)의 프랑스 혁명(The French Revolution)(1837) 09. 위대한 유산(Great Expectations)(1860~1861) 10. 올리버 트위스트(Oliver Twist)(1837~1839) 11. 데이비드 코퍼필드(David Copperfield)(1849~1850) 11-1. 올리버 골드스미스(Oliver Goldsmith)의 The Vicar of Wakefield(1766) 12. 어려운 시절(Hard Times)(1854) 13. 영국 런던에서 찰스 디킨스를 만나는 7가지 방법 14. 오디오북(Audio Books)으로 듣는 찰스 디킨스(Charles Dickens) 15. 찰스 디킨스(Charles Dickens) 어록(Quotes)(60) 찰스 디킨스의 세 유령 이야기(Three Ghost Stories by Charles Dickens)(1866) The Haunted House HH-The Mortals In The House HH-The Ghost In Master B.’s Room The Trial For Murder The Signal-Man Footnotes 부록(Appendix). 세계의 고전을 여행하는 히치하이커를 위한 안내서(The Hitchhiker's Guide to Worlds’s Classics) A01. 하버드 서점(Harvard Book Store) 직원 추천 도서 100선(Staff's Favorite 100 Books) & 판매도서 100위(Top 100 Books) A02. 서울대 권장도서 100 A03. 연세필독도서 고전 200선 A04. 고려대학교 세종캠퍼스 권장도서 100선 A05. 서울대, 연세대, 고려대 공통 권장도서 60권 A06. 성균관대학교 오거서(五車書) 성균 고전 100선 A07. 경희대 후마니타스 칼리지(Humanitas College) 교양필독서 100선 A08. 포스텍(포항공대) 권장도서 100선 A09. 카이스트(KAIST) 독서마일리지제 추천도서 100권 A10. 문학상 수상작 및 추천도서(44) A11. 영어고전(English Classics) 오디오북을 무료로 듣는 5가지 방법(How to listen to FREE audio Books legally?)
