Description

Born in poverty in a workhouse in an unnamed town, Oliver Twist escapes to London only to find himself amid a gang of pickpockets run by the Artful Dodger. The more he tries to free himself from his misery, the more he is entrapped in a world inhabited by criminals and the homeless like himself and so begins an immortal Dickensian story in which Dickens creates some of his most loved and abhorred characters such as Oliver Twist himself, Bumble, Fagin, Nancy, Bill Sykes and the Artful Dodger. Oliver Twist first began appearing in monthly installments in Bentley s Miscellany in February 1837 and continued till April 1839. It was Dickens second novel after Pickwick Papers and through a never-ending battle between Good and Evil it brings to light the hypocrisies of the Victorian Age.

About the Author

Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812. He received little formal education as the conditions at home forced him to leave school and work in a factory at an early age. His early circumstances left a lasting impression on Dickens and greatly influenced his work, be it literary or philanthropic. Having worked in various professions, Dickens started writing in newspapers and magazines and most of his work was published as monthly serials in them. Dickens was a prolific writer. He wrote over a dozen novels, many a collection of short stories, a large body of non-fiction and poetic works, and many plays. He was arguably the best Victorian novelist and enjoyed great fame during his lifetime. He died in 1870 but even today he is one of the most popular authors of all times
