In common with Dickens' previous Christmas Book, The Cricket on the Hearth, the story ends with a romantic twist. The Battle of Life is one of Dickens' lesser known works and has never achieved a great deal of popularity in the English-speaking world. However, the title is familiar to many speakers of the constructed language Esperanto because it was one of the first literary works to be translated into the language. The translation, La batalo de l' vivo, by Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, the creator of the language, was first publshed in 1891. Zamenhof intended to show through his translation of a book by Dickens that the new language could be used for literary expression.
