Oliver Twist

Oliver is an orphan living on the dangerous London streets with no one but himself to rely on. Fleeing from poverty and hardship, he falls in with a criminal street gang who will not let him go, however hard he tries to escape.

One of the most swiftly moving and unified of Charles Dickens’s great novels, Oliver Twist is also famous for its re-creation–through the splendidly realized figures of Fagin, Nancy, the Artful Dodger, and the evil Bill Sikes–of the vast London underworld of pickpockets, thieves, prostitutes, and abandoned children. Victorian critics took Dickens to task for rendering this world in such a compelling, believable way, but readers over the last 150 years have delivered an alternative judgment by making this story of the orphaned Oliver Twist one of its author’s most loved works.

Fugand de saracie si dificultati, se intalneste cu o banda criminala de strada care nu-l va lasa sa plece, oricat de mult ar incerca sa scape. Unul dintre cele mai rapide si mai unificate dintre marile romane ale lui Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist este, de asemenea, faimos pentru refacerea sa. -crearea - prin figurile splendid realizate ale lui Fagin, Nancy, Dodgerul Artful si maleficul Bill Sikes - a vastei lumi interlope londoneze a hotilor de buzunare, hotilor, prostituatelor si copiilor abandonati.
