Elev , la mort de ses parents, par le redoutable dragon domestique que le Ciel lui a donn pour soeur, Pip (Philip Pirrip) semble promis l'existence obscure d'un jeune villageois sans fortune. C'est compter sans la bienveillance des divinit s tut laires qui veillent sur son enfance. Car Pip a le privil ge de vivre au milieu de cr atures singuli res dont l'existence seule accr dite la croyance au miracle: il y a tout d'abord le sourire d bonnaire, l'amiti protectrice et complice de son beau-fr re, le forgeron Joe Gargery, puis la rencontre terrifiante mais bient t miraculeuse d'Abel Magwitch, for at au grand coeur, mule de Jean Valjean, qui saura lui rendre au centuple son modeste bienfait. Mais il y a surtout la pittoresque Miss Havisham et son blouissante prot g e, Estella. Estella au nom pr destin , dont la froide et fascinante beaut exalte et d sesp re tout la fois le jeune Pip: J'ai regard les toiles et j'ai pens que ce serait affreux pour un homme en train de mourir de soif de tourner son visage vers elles et de ne trouver ni secours ni piti dans cette multitude scintillante. Car les grandes esp rances qui portent le jeune Pip ne sont pas les aspirations prosa ques de l'Angleterre victorienne, sa recherche du confort ou de la respectabilit , mais bien les puissances du r ve qui nous font chercher le bonheur au-del de la Sagesse.

En cada relato de Historias de fantasmas, los personajes se encuentran con alucinaciones, por no llamarlos fantasmas. El escenario de cada momento es narrado por la astucia del escritor de una manera muy distintiva, nica. Surgen conversaciones entre los personajes y los fantasmas, las cuales se van desarrollando seg n la vida particular y personalidad de cada protagonista. Los fantasmas gozan de una personalidad nica, es sobre todo en la manera en que aparecen y actitud tan diferente de cada fantasma en donde Charles Dickens muestra su gran talento. Unas veces los fantasmas son atentos, otras dan advertencias, pero todos tienen esa gran gracia de ser inolvidables.

The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, A Fancy for Christmas-Time (better known as The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain or simply as The Haunted Man) is a novella by Charles Dickens first published in 1848. It is the fifth and last of Dickens's Christmas novellas. The story is more about the spirit of the holidays than about the holidays themselves, harking back to the first in the series, A Christmas Carol. The tale centres around a Professor Redlaw and those close to him. Redlaw is a teacher of chemistry who often broods over wrongs done him and grief from his past. He is haunted by a spirit, who is not so much a ghost as Redlaw's phantom twin and is "an awful likeness of himself...with his features, and his bright eyes, and his grizzled hair, and dressed in the gloomy shadow of his dress..." This spectre appears and proposes to Redlaw that he can allow him to "forget the sorrow, wrong, and trouble you have known...to cancel their remembrance..." Redlaw is hesitant at first, but finally agrees. As a consequence of the ghost's intervention, Redlaw is without memories of the painful incidents from his past. He experiences a universal anger that he cannot explain. His bitterness spreads to the Swidgers, the Tetterbys and his student. All become as wrathful as Redlaw himself. The only one who is able to avoid the bitterness is Milly. With this realization, the novel concludes with everyone back to normal and Redlaw, like Ebenezer Scrooge, a changed, more loving man. Now a whole person, Redlaw learns to be humble at Christmas. In what would be the first public performance of the technique known as Pepper's ghost, John Henry Pepper staged a Christmas Eve production of play in 1862 at the Royal Polytechnic Institution (currently known as the University of Westminster) in 309 Regent Street. It was very well received, if only for the new apparatus's ability to project a ghost so as to look as though it is interacting with those on stage
