  • Oliver Twist

    Charles Dickens

    Paperback (SDE Classics, Sept. 2, 2019)
    Such is the influence which the condition of our own thoughts, exercise, even over the appearance of external objects. Men who look on nature, and their fellow-men, and cry that all is dark and gloomy, are in the right; but the sombre colours are reflections from their own jaundiced eyes and hearts. The real hues are delicate, and need a clearer vision.Orphan boy Oliver Twist grew up living in a workhouse where he famously asks for more gruel but is pompously rejected. The workhouse becomes unbearable and runs away straight into the London criminal underground, where he meets a young pickpocket nicknamed “The Artful Dodger.” Oliver meets the crime lord named Fagin overseeing the criminal operation and then finds himself working side by side with “The Artful Dodger” and his accomplices in this criminal world.A poignant picture of a how cruel society can be, Oliver Twist has remained a timeless classic of the depths people will go when faced with a seemingly inescapable pit of despair.
