Oliver Twist (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169343863)

Oliver Twist is a classic novel written by Charles Dickens, first published in 1837. The story follows the life of a young orphan boy named Oliver Twist who is raised in a workhouse and then sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. After escaping from his cruel master, Oliver travels to London where he falls in with a gang of pickpockets led by the criminal Fagin. Along the way, Oliver meets a host of memorable characters, including the kind-hearted Nancy, the menacing Bill Sikes, and the wealthy Mr. Brownlow.The novel is a scathing critique of the social conditions of 19th-century England, particularly the treatment of the poor and the criminal justice system. Dickens uses Oliver's story to highlight the corruption and cruelty of those in power, while also celebrating the resilience and goodness of ordinary people.With its vivid characters, gripping plot, and powerful social commentary, Oliver Twist remains a beloved classic of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
