Description

“Oliver Twist” is a novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1837-1839. It is one of Dickens’s most well-known and widely read works, and it has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and other media over the years.

The story follows the life of Oliver Twist, an orphan born in a workhouse in a provincial town. After running away from the harsh treatment at the workhouse, Oliver finds himself in the criminal underworld of London. He becomes associated with a group of juvenile delinquents led by the cunning Fagin, and he experiences both the harsh realities of poverty and the kindness of a few sympathetic individuals.

The novel explores various social issues of the time, including the treatment of orphans, the inadequacies of the workhouse system, and the criminal activities prevalent in Victorian London. Dickens uses “Oliver Twist” to expose the flaws in the social and legal systems of his time, advocating for compassion and reform.

Some of the memorable characters in the novel include the innocent and kind-hearted Oliver, the sinister Fagin, the ruthless Bill Sikes, and the benevolent Mr. Brownlow. The novel’s portrayal of the stark contrast between the poor and the privileged, as well as its depiction of the struggles of a young orphan, has made it a powerful and enduring work in the realm of classic literature.
