Oliver Twist

Dark, mysterious and mordantly funny, Oliver Twist features some of the most memorably drawn villains in all of fiction—the treacherous gangmaster Fagin, the menacing thug Bill Sikes, the Artful Dodger and their den of thieves in the grimy London backstreets. Dicken’s novel is both an angry indictment of poverty, and an adventure filled with an air of threat and pervasive evil.
