A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens. A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.
Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol at a time when the British were examining and exploring Christmas traditions from the past, such as carols, as well as new customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by experiences from his own past, and from the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired to write the story following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged school, one of several establishments for London's half-starved, illiterate street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of self-interested man redeeming himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this was a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.
With A Christmas Carol, Dickens captured the zeitgeist of the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday. He has been acknowledged as an influence on the modern Western observance of Christmas and inspired several aspects of Christmas, such as family gatherings, seasonal food and drink, dancing, games and a festive generosity of spirit.

The Diary Of A Nobody George Grossmith, Weedon Grossmith – Mr Pooter is a man of modest ambitions, content with his ordinary life. Yet he always seems to be troubled by disagreeable tradesmen, impertinent young office clerks and wayward friends, not to mention his devil-may-care son Lupin with his unsuitable choice of bride. Try as he might, he cannot avoid life's embarrassing mishaps. In the bumbling, absurd, yet ultimately endearing figure of Pooter, the Grossmiths created an immortal comic character and a superb satire on the snobberies of middle-class suburbia – one which also sends up late Victorian crazes for spiritualism and bicycling, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody

Pocos investigadores en literatura logran moldear una obra que vaya más allá de una suma contingente de textos críticos para convertirse en una síntesis histórica, teórica y crítica de la disciplina. Tal es el caso de Alain Vaillant, cuya obra, que empieza a ser traducida hoy a diferentes idiomas, ha sentado los cimientos para una historia radicalmente nueva de la literatura, que permita comprender el origen y las consecuencias de los seísmos mayores que sacudieron la comunicación literaria moderna. Con Hacia una poética histórica de la comunicación literaria se busca ofrecer las bases para trazar en nuestros países, como lo ha hecho Vaillant en el caso francés, una historia de la comunicación de la literatura que tenga en cuenta la forma y las modalidades específicas que aquella adquiere en las sociedades industrializadas y masificadas, a partir de comprender las relaciones complejas que se entretejen entre el sistema literario y otras instituciones, ya sean políticas, educativas, mediáticas o religiosas. El interés de divulgar un modelo teórico como el que el autor propone es que permite no solo repensar las particularidades formales e históricas de nuestras literaturas, sino también sus procesos de paralelismo, imbricación y mestizaje con sus homólogas europeas.

In diesem Band 4 werden die Entwicklung der Aktivierend-therapeutischen Pflege sowie die aktuellen Versorgungsstrukturen inkl. der Ausgliederung der Pflegepersonalkosten aus den DRGs mit den Folgen für die Geriatrie aufgegriffen. Wir werden immer älter, «kränker» und der Anteil der «Mehrheimischen» aus vielen verschiedenen Kulturen wird die Pflege herausfordern und demnach auch die Anwendung von ATP. (Pflege-)WissenschaftlerInnen und TheoretikerInnen mit praktischen geriatrischen Kenntnissen schreiben über die Entwicklungen der ATP und ihre Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, z. B. die Bedeutung von Zielen im Rahmen der ATP. PraktikerInnen greifen theoretische Ansätze auf und berichten von ihren Erfahrungen und Anwendungen. Berücksichtigt werden hier u. a. beschriebene Begriffe, die Einzug in die Anwendung der ATP halten, z. B. Pflegerische Befundung oder Subjektives Rehabilitationsziel.
