Oliver Twist

"Please, sir, I want some more."

Born in a workhouse and sold into an apprenticeship with an undertaker, young Oliver Twist escapes to London seeking a better life. Instead, he is lured into a shadowy world of crime by the charismatic Artful Dodger and the manipulative Fagin. As Oliver is forced into a life of thievery, he becomes the center of a deadly tug-of-war between those who wish to exploit his innocence and those who seek to uncover the secret of his true identity.

A Rogues' Gallery of Villains and Heroes: Dickens creates some of his most indelible characters in this "Parish Boy's Progress." From the terrifying brutality of the housebreaker Bill Sikes and his loyal but tragic companion Nancy, to the bumbling parish beadle Mr. Bumble, the novel is a vivid tapestry of human nature. Amidst the grime of the London slums, Oliver's unwavering goodness serves as a beacon of hope against a system designed to crush the poor.

A Fearless Social Indictment: More than just an adventure, Oliver Twist is a powerful protest against the Poor Laws and the treatment of the "surplus population." Dickens uses his signature wit and biting satire to expose the hypocrisy of the middle class and the desperate reality of child labor. It is a masterpiece of suspense, melodrama, and moral urgency that remains as relevant today as it was in 1837.

Witness the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Purchase "Oliver Twist" today and experience the definitive story of the London streets.
