Published in 1838, Oliver Twist marks Charles Dickens first foray into a realistic portrayal of the grim realities of Londons underbelly and its inhabitants. Through vivid characters and settings, Dickens powerfully illustrates his belief that poverty can lead to crime. The story follows young Oliver, a parish orphan, who has spent his entire short life in a dilapidated orphanage, where food is scarce and kindness is even scarcer. When Oliver bravely asks for more gruel after a meager meal, he shocks the parish board and is quickly sold to a local undertaker for a mere five pounds. This act of desperation prompts Oliver to flee, setting him on a tumultuous journey. He soon crosses paths with the infamous Artful Dodger, a cunning pickpocket who introduces him to Fagin, a dubious character who leads a gang of young thieves. Despite his discomfort in this criminal world, Oliver is drawn deeper into its clutches, especially when he encounters the menacing Bill Sykes. As his adventure unfolds, Oliver encounters an array of richly developed characters, and Dickens masterful descriptions paint a haunting picture of the darker side of London life during that era. - Summary by Peter KeebleCopyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction Art Sciences sociales
