The Penguin English Library edition of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens offers a compelling journey through the life of an orphan boy. Oliver, the parishioner's child, grows up in a workhouse and leads a hard life full of deprivation. Often abused and never understood, he is drawn into a world of misery and desolation. Dickens doesn't shy away from addressing social ills in dark and witty terms.
The story is filled with unforgettable villains, such as the cunning gang leader Fagin, the menacing Bill Sikes, and the crafty Artful Dodger, who, along with their band of thieves, inhabit the grim slums of London. This novel is both a powerful indictment of poverty and a thrilling adventure tinged with menace and omnipresent evil.
