OLIVER TWIST

Oliver Twist is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens. The story is about an orphan Oliver Twist, who lives a miserable existence in a workhouse. He escapes and travels to London where he meets Artful Dodger (leader of a gang of pickpockets) and the criminal trainer Fagin.

Oliver Twist is well known for Dickens’ unromantic description of criminals and their sordid lives. The book calls the public’s attention to various contemporary evils, including the Poor Law, child labour and the recruitment of children as criminals. It is likely that Dickens’s own early youth as a child labourer contributed to the story’s development.

Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations.
