Differentiated book• It has a historical context with research of the timeOliver Twist is one of the most famous novels of universal literature. It is the best known novel by the English writer Charles Dickens. It was written between 1837 and 1839 and a picture of English society from the Victorian era is presented there. Dickens denounces in this work the precarious situation of the orphanages and the mistreatment that was given to those welcomed in them, the crime and marginality of London and the sad role of the judicial system, which does not hesitate to severely punish a poor boy.Oliver, since the death of his mother, is a small orphan who goes through a thousand and one hardships. Dispossessed of his social status at birth he finds her at the end of Mr. Bronlow's hand, and thanks to a medallion of his mother. Oliver suffers the ill-treatment in the hospice that welcomed him at his birth, until he escapes his influence and his last job as a gravedigger's assistant, to march towards the city from which he has heard wonders. The boy arrives in the city, a succession of labyrinthine streets and alleys, and falls directly into the hands of Fagin and his gang of teenage criminals. There he begins in the arts of robbery and street crime, he meets Nancy, who as a part of the women of the Victorian era makes a living on the street. Nancy helps Fagin to recover Oliver, although at the end of the novel we are witnesses of his regret. The happy ending is the classic of any novel in which the character has to save a thousand and one obstacles.
