Description

"Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens is a classic tale of an orphan boy's struggle for survival in the harsh streets of Victorian London. Abandoned at birth and raised in a workhouse, young Oliver endures hardship and cruelty. Escaping to London, he falls in with a gang of pickpockets led by the sinister Fagin and befriends the kind-hearted Nancy. Through a series of adventures, Oliver uncovers his true identity and finds refuge with a benevolent benefactor. Dickens' timeless narrative vividly portrays the stark realities of poverty, the contrast between good and evil, and the transformative power of compassion and redemption.
