Book excerpt: Oliver Twist was published in 1838. This story shows in vivid colors the miseries ofthe pauper's home where the inmates are robbed and starved, while the dead are hurried into unhonored graves; the haunts of villains and thieves, where the wretchedpoor are purposely made criminals by those who have sinned past hope; and one wrong-doing is used to force the victim deeper in vice. With such lives are interwoven those of a better sort, showing how men and women in all grades have power on others for good or ill. Oliver Twist — so called because the workhouse master had just then reached the letter "T" in naming the waifs — was born in the poorhouse, where his mother's wanderings ceased forever. When the hungry lad asked for more ofthe too thin gruel he was whipped. Bound out to work, he runs away from this slavery and goes to London. The Artful Dodger takes the starving lad to the den of Fagin the Jew, the pickpocket's school. But he will not steal. He finds a home. He is kidnapped, and forced to be again with the bad ones, and to act as helper to Sykes the robber in house-breaking. Nancy's womanly heart, bad though her life may be, works to set him free. Once more good people shelter him, rescuing him without assistance ofthe Bow Street officers, who make brave talk. The kind old scholar, Mr. Brownlow, is the good genius who opens before him a way to liberty and a life suited to his nature. The excitable country doctor deceives the police, and saves Oliver for an honest career. The eccentric Mr. Grimwig should not be overlooked. The mystery of his mother's fate is solved, and he finds a sister ...

Book excerpt: This is an annotated and illustrated version of the book1.contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2.It also contains new and unique illustrations to give a better documentation and realism to the bookREATS OF THE PLACE WHERE OLIVER TWIST WAS BORN AND OF THECIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING HIS BIRTHAmong other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasonsit will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I willassign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born; ona day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch asit can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage ofthe business at all events; the item of mortality whose name isprefixed to the head of this chapter.For a long time after it was ushered into this world of sorrow andtrouble, by the parish surgeon, it remained a matter of considerabledoubt whether the child would survive to bear any name at all; in whichcase it is somewhat more than probable that these memoirs would neverhave appeared; or, if they had, that being comprised within a couple ofpages, they would have possessed the inestimable merit of being themost concise and faithful specimen of biography, extant in theliterature of any age or country.Although I am not disposed to maintain that the being born in aworkhouse, is in itself the most fortunate and enviable circumstancethat can possibly befall a human being, I do mean to say that in thisparticular instance, it was the best thing for Oliver Twist that couldby possibility have occurred. The fact is, that there was considerabledifficulty in inducing Oliver to take upon himself the office ofrespiration, --a troublesome practice, but one which custom has renderednecessary to our easy existence; and for some time he lay gasping on alittle flock mattress, rather unequally poised between this world andthe next: the balance being decidedly in favour of the latter. Now, if, during this brief period, Oliver had been surrounded by carefulgrandmothers, anxious aunts, experienced nurses, and doctors ofprofound wisdom, he would most inevitably and indubitably have beenkilled in no time. There being nobody by, however, but a pauper oldwoman, who was rendered rather misty by an unwonted allowance of beer;and a parish surgeon who did such matters by contract; Oliver andNature fought out the point between them. The result was, that, aftera few struggles, Oliver breathed, sneezed, and proceeded to advertiseto the inmates of the workhouse the fact of a new burden having beenimposed upon the parish, by setting up as loud a cry as couldreasonably have been expected from a male infant who had not beenpossessed of that very useful appendage, a voice, for a much longerspace of time than three minutes and a quarter.

Oliver Twist, or The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by Charles Dickens, and was first published as a serial 1837-39. The story is of the orphan Oliver Twist, who starts his life in a workhouse and is then sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London, where he meets the Artful Dodger, a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal, Fagin.Oliver Twist is notable for its unromantic portrayal by Dickens of criminals and their sordid lives, as well as for exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid-19th century. The alternate title, The Parish Boy's Progress, alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, as well as the 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth, A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.In this early example of the social novel, Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time, including child labour, the recruitment of children as criminals, and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe, an orphan whose account of working as a child labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own youthful experiences contributed as well.Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous adaptations for various media, including a highly successful musical play, Oliver!, and the multiple Academy Award-winning 1968 motion picture.

Book excerpt: The novel follows the journey of the titular character, Oliver Twist. Oliver, an orphan since birth, spends much of his childhood at a "child farm" (orphanage) with too many children and too little food. The farm is located roughly 70 miles outside London. One night, after being served his portion of gruel, Oliver asks for a second helping. This is unacceptable, and Oliver is sent to work as an apprentice to an undertaker. Eventually, after suffering repeated mistreatment, Oliver runs away and heads for London. He soon finds himself in the presence of the Artful Dodger, who tells him to stay at the house of an "old gentleman" (named Fagin) with a number of other boys. Oliver learns that these boys are trained pickpockets. On an outing, Oliver witnesses the boys take a handkerchief from Mr. Brownlow, an elderly man, which prompts Oliver to run away in fear and confusion. The elderly man mistakes Oliver's behaviour for guilt and has him arrested. However, after learning more about Oliver, Mr. Brownlow realizes his mistake and offers to take care of him at his home.

Book excerpt: Oliver TWIST - 2/3 Second of three volumes After a miserable childhood spent in public workhouses, the lonely, starving and miserable orphan boy, Oliver TWIST, runs away when he is barely twelve. Reaching London, Oliver is taken in by a gang of thieves and housebreakers led by the evil genius and master criminal, Fagin. Eventually befriended by a man robbed by the gang, Oliver finally learns his true identity, and gains a family and an inheritance. About the Author: Charles John Huffam Dickens was born in Landport Portsea, England, in 1812, the second of eight children. His father, a clerk, moved the family to London when Charles was ten years old. Two years later, the boy had to leave school to help support the family. But Charles read constantly in his spare time. He also wandered around the poor working-class districts and the slum areas where criminals hung out. These places and their inhabitants were described vividly in his novels. In 1832, Dickens, who had since returned to school, became a newspaper reporter. Four years later, he published Pickwick Papers, his first major novel. Oliver Twist appeared in 1838. Other leading works included David Copperfield, A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, and Tale of Two Cities.
