Sinopsis
Charles Dickens’s classic tale of a starving orphan who finds himself caught between the forces of good and evil
Set against London’s seedy back-street slums, Oliver Twist is the saga of a workhouse orphan captured and thrust into a thieves’ den, where some of Dickens’s most depraved villains preside: the incorrigible Artful Dodger, the murderous bully Sikes, and the terrible Fagin, that treacherous ringleader whose grinning knavery threatens to send them all to the “ghostly gallows.” Yet at the heart of this drama is the orphan Oliver, whose unsullied goodness leads him at last to salvation.
This fiercely comic tale stands in marked contrast to its genial predecessor, The Pickwick Papers. The publication of Oliver Twist in 1838 was, according to Edgar Johnson, “a clarion peal announcing to the world that in Charles Dickens the rejected and forgotten and misused of the world had a champion.”
