The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens’s tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters – the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, in Oliver Twist Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

Oliver Twist

Uma narrativa que começa triste, cheia de sofrimentos e que contém muito mistério, de um garoto chamado Oliver que tem uma índole bondosa e não se amargura mesmo com tanta miséria que acontece na sua vida.

O final tem várias reviravoltas surpreendentes que faz valer a pena ler a história.
