Born into a grim workhouse and left with no one to rely on, young Oliver Twist knows only hunger and hardship. When he dares to ask for more food, he is cast out into a harsh world, eventually escaping to the unforgiving streets of nineteenth-century London. There, he falls into the clutches of the cunning Fagin and his infamous gang of juvenile pickpockets, including the slick Artful Dodger. Desperate to stay pure in a city built on corruption, Oliver struggles to free himself from the criminal underworld that refuses to let him go. Charles Dickens crafts a pulse-pounding, unforgettable adventure filled with sinister villains, hidden identities, and a gripping fight for survival. Exposing the brutal reality of poverty with sharp humor and deep empathy, this timeless masterpiece proves that a courageous and honest heart can triumph over the darkest of circumstances.
