註釋A Christmas Carol: Of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come removes the dust off Dickens's masterpiece and goes beyond post-modern literature. Old Robert Marley is facing his own Christmas demons, and is given no choice at all. It'll take the form of unwanted journeys through his past, present and future. A simple life, and a second chance. No matter what, things only crystallize if we let them. Through the wits and memories of Robert Marley, the journey revisits the classic novella in a new frame, modern and as down-to-earth as a ghost story allows it. Question is: do you believe in ghost stories? Bitter Robert Marley hates pretty much everything and everyone, and focuses all his attention on his assets and on making more, affectionate with every dime of his own. Yet, the journey into his Christmases past, present and yet to come will remind him that he wasn't always such a greedy and grumpy fellow. There was hope, and love, and beauty inside of him. As he travels through the landmarks of his existence and through the lives of his contemporaries, he will be forced to re-open his heart and let in the flow of emotions and expectations that go along with it. Plunge with Marley in a re-visitation of his early memories, a flutter of lively and magical milestones, from his childhood Christmas parties to the years spent alongside Lily, the love of his life. Conscience and consciousness intertwine as he sinks deeper in the swirl of un-Dickens-like phantoms. From initial terror to growing earnestness, Marley embraces this experience as his own chance to look upon things in a different way. Windows open on new perspectives and offer him a surge of human warmth to cradle his elderly years.
