Oliver Twist

An Apple Books Classic edition. <br /><br />Buoyant in its optimism and yet scathing in its cultural criticism, Charles Dickens’ second novel is an electrifying journey into the dark corners of 19th-century London’s criminal underworld. <br /><br />Orphaned Oliver Twist has been starved and beaten in a brutal workhouse for most of his young life. After running away to London, he falls under the control of Fagin, a criminal who trains young boys to pick pockets for him on the crowded streets. <br /><br />But Oliver’s mysterious birth makes him the target of a ruthless plot, and when he escapes the desperate Fagin’s clutches, danger follows him at every turn. <i>Oliver Twist</i> blends unforgettable characters alongside Dickens’ anger at a society that discards its most vulnerable.
