Description

“Oliver Twist” is a novel written by the renowned English author Charles Dickens. The novel was first published as a serial in 1837-1839 and later compiled into a book. It’s one of Dickens’ most famous works and is considered a classic of English literature.

The story follows the life and adventures of the young orphan Oliver Twist. Born in a workhouse and orphaned early in life, Oliver experiences a series of unfortunate events that lead him to a life of poverty, mistreatment, and encounters with various unsavory characters.

One of the most iconic aspects of the story is Oliver’s daring request for more food, which leads to his expulsion from the workhouse and sets him on a journey that exposes him to both the kindness and cruelty of the world. He becomes entangled with criminals, such as Fagin, a manipulative and crafty thief who trains orphaned children to become pickpockets.

Throughout the novel, Dickens exposes the harsh realities of 19th-century British society, particularly the plight of orphaned and impoverished children. He addresses themes such as social injustice, class disparity, the corrupting influence of criminality, and the struggle for moral integrity in the face of adversity.

“Oliver Twist” is known for its vivid characters, including the kind-hearted Mr. Brownlow, the enigmatic Artful Dodger, and the sinister Bill Sikes. It is a blend of social commentary, melodrama, and Dickens’ signature humor.

The novel’s themes and characters have left an enduring impact on literature and culture. It has been adapted into numerous stage and film productions, and its influence can be seen in various media that explore themes of poverty, justice, and the human spirit’s resilience in the face of hardship.
