The Penguin English Library Edition of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
'A parish child - the orphan of a workhouse - the humble, half-starved drudge - to be cuffed and buffeted through the world, despised by all, and pitied by none'
Dark, mysterious and mordantly funny, Oliver Twist features some of the most memorably drawn villains in all of fiction - the treacherous gangmaster Fagin, the menacing thug Bill Sikes, the Artful Dodger and their den of thieves in the grimy London backstreets. Dicken's novel is both an angry indictment of poverty, and an adventure filled with an air of threat and pervasive evil.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Between 4−5 stars rating, 01 April 2022I found Oliver Twist story in four or fifth grade. It's only small sentences part and I wanted to know more. The book full of middle English phrases and sometimes I should look it up on google for the meaning. It is a well constructed tale literally wise. It gives insight in the common speech and language of the English People in Dicken's time
Between 4−5 stars rating, 21 August 2018There's nothing more to say about this author. Dickens is a God of the old classics. We all know about many of his works. He wrote them beautifully and I wouldn't let them pass.
