More about the book

The narrative follows orphan Oliver Twist, who escapes a grim apprenticeship and finds himself in London's underbelly, encountering a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by Fagin. Dickens presents a stark portrayal of crime and the harsh realities faced by orphans in 19th-century London, addressing issues like child labor and societal hypocrisy. Drawing inspiration from real-life accounts and his own experiences, the novel serves as an early social commentary. Its enduring legacy includes numerous adaptations, such as the acclaimed musical "Oliver!" and Disney's animated "Oliver & Company."
