«Die Silvesterglocken» is Charles Dickens's Christmas story, published by Insel Verlag GmbH in hardback (143 pages, in German).
Toby Veck, a poor messenger waiting for work by a church, considers the bells of its tower his friends. On New Year's Eve, those bells drag him into a dreamlike vision where he sees that time has not eased the misery of his daughter Meg. The story blends the supernatural with a denunciation of indifference toward the poor.
German translation by Leo Feld, with illustrations by Selda Soganci. Original work: «The Chimes» (1844), one of Dickens's Christmas stories.
For readers of nineteenth-century classics and Dickens's stories; also as a Christmas or New Year's gift.
