Oliver Twist: Special Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781717596482)

At the heart of Dickens's second novel is a story as much about crime and poverty as it is about justice and charity. Orphaned at birth, Oliver Twist grows up under the loveless, relentless watch of a workhouse. He runs away with hopes for a better life in London, only to become-at the hands of the unforgettable Artful Dodger-a guileless pawn in a gang of pickpockets and robbers working for Fagin, one of Dickens's most controversial villains. Full of ingenious plot twists, at turns thrilling, tragic, tender, and sharp-eyed, Oliver Twist is among Dickens's most enduring classics; the story of a young orphan who dares to say, "Please, sir, I want some more." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.
