Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Buoyant in its optimism and yet scathing in its cultural criticism, Charles Dickens’ second novel is an electrifying journey into the dark corners of 19th-century London’s criminal underworld.
Orphaned Oliver Twist has been starved and beaten in a brutal workhouse for most of his young life. After running away to London, he falls under the control of Fagin, a criminal who trains young boys to pick pockets for him on the crowded streets.
But Oliver’s mysterious birth makes him the target of a ruthless plot, and when he escapes the desperate Fagin’s clutches, danger follows him at every turn. Oliver Twist blends unforgettable characters alongside Dickens’ anger at a society that discards its most vulnerable.
Customer Reviews
An adequate book
This book is very descriptive, and evokes a lot of emotions from the readers. Dickens had also added humor in the book to make it capture the attention of the readers. However, the lost the my interest at various times. It is overall a classic book worthwhile to read.
