    Forgiveness doesn't free the wicked from their evil deeds. Rather, it frees the wounded, allowing their lives more peace. Thank you Sir for a lovely narration.

      The forgiveness did Christ cleanse you of your sins but of course you have to repent and try not to commit again. The lord knows your heart.

    This audiobook is a true Dickensian gem. The story of Richard Doubledick, with its themes of redemption and hope, is beautifully brought to life. It's a perfect story for the holiday season.

    I never read Dickens until I retired. I saw several versions of The Christmas Carol and the movie, A Tale of Two Cities. They seemed okay. However, when I read these stories. I was amazed by his craftsmanship and his beautifully conceived stories. He is now one of my favorite authors. This story, so beautifully narrated, added to my favorable impressions of Mr.Dickens. Thank you for this.

      It may sound corny but for many Christmases I had a tradition of re-reading "A Christmas Carol" every year because each year I seemed to associate with a different character. Dickens is a giant!

      It's wonderful to hear how reading Dickens after retirement opened up a whole new appreciation for his work. His ability to weave deep, meaningful stories is truly remarkable. Do you have a favorite character or moment from any of his works that really stood out to you? It’s always interesting how certain themes or scenes resonate differently with each reader.

    Thank you, this is another Charles Dickens short story that was hitherto unfamiliar to me. I wonder if anyone with better historical knowledge than mine can enlighten me on the last remark about the sons Doubledick and the French officer fighting side-by-side? Does anyone know which conflict Dickens was referring to? (If he had lived 50 years later, I would have thought he meant WW1!)

    • @classicaudiobookswithelliot
      @classicaudiobookswithelliot  2 роки тому +6

      Thank you for listening, Katy. It’s a really lovely story, similar to his redemption tales more well known to us, but without the supernatural element.
      Incidentally I believe the conflict which the sons would have fought in was probably the Crimean War (1853-1856) as allies against Russia.

      A tale of such haunting beauty and convoluted wonder. At the point where he gets stranded, it starts to feel like a shaggy-dog story, funny- then one is promptly thrown into unfolding layers of the uncanny. Loved it for 20 years, don’t understand why it’s so overlooked.
