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
Oliver Twist
A truly wonderful piece of English Literature. If you've watched the film/musical then you must read the book, it truly is a story that everyone should know!!
Poor quality version of a great Dickens classic
This is full of simple spelling or grammar mistakes.For example of when it should be on and a complete confusion where Oliver asks for more gruel.Avoid this version and find a better one.Not worth reading as cannot concentrate on a book with many mistakes.: (
