50 cosas sobre mí

Hace poco le salvé la vida a un tío. Dicho así, ya sé que suena un poco fuerte. Pero es verdad. A veces la verdad es fuerte. El tío al que le salvé la vida tiene dos años más que yo y me cae fatal. Bueno, puede que desde lo que pasó me caiga un poco mejor, pero solo un poco. En realidad no lo sé. No sería su amigo por nada del mundo. Seguro que os estáis preguntando qué pasó, qué hice. Igual me imagináis como un héroe. Alguien que va por ahí salvando vidas o salvando mundos. O que lleva capa y una 'S' muy grande en la camiseta. No os rayéis. Soy un tío como todos, pero más raro. Creo que si no fuera raro las cosas habrían sido distintas. De aquella madrugada apenas tengo recuerdos nítidos. Todo fue cuestión de tres o cuatro segundos. Apenas tuve tiempo de pensar, pero sí de formularme una pregunta horrible: '¿Y si no hago nada?'. Grabado en español ibérico (España).

A Children’s Treasury Of Christmas Stories

11-year-old actor Eden Giuliano presents a brand new line of exciting children’s stories from Icon! The now classic Christmas tales by Charles Dickens were written at a time when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, A Christmas Carol, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is long standing discussion among academics as to whether this story, in particular, was a fully secular story, or if it is indeed, a Christian allegory. Charles Dickens captured the zeitgeist of the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday. Dickens freely acknowledged the influence of the modern Western observance of Christmas, and later inspired several aspects of Christmas, including family gatherings, seasonal food and drink, dancing, games and a festive generosity of spirit.
