Oliver Twist

One of the most swiftly moving and unified of Charles Dickens's great novels, Oliver Twist is also famous for its re-creation -- through the splendidly realized figures of Fagin, Nancy, the Artful Dodger, and the evil Bill Sikes -- of the vast London underworld of pickpockets, thieves, prostitutes, and abandoned children. Victorian critics took Dickens to task for rendering this world in such a compelling, believable way, but readers over the last 150 years have delivered an alternative judgment by making this story of the orphaned Oliver Twist one of its author's most loved works.

  • "Die Abenteuer eines armen Waisenkindes Der Waisenjunge Oliver Twist wächst unter den erbärmlichsten Bedingungen auf, die man sich vorstellen kann. Als er Hunger, Armut und Prügel nicht mehr erträgt, reißt er aus nach London, um dort sein Glück zu versuchen. Aber hier ergeht es ihm auch nicht viel besser: Er gerät in die Fänge einer Diebesbande, die ihn ausbeutet und zum Stehlen zwingen will. Doch Oliver trifft auch auf liebenswerte Menschen, die Mitleid mit ihm haben und ihm helfen. Und schließlich kommt Erstaunliches über seine Herkunft ans Licht! Eines der berühmtesten Kinderbücher der Welt - mit den wunderschönen Originalillustrationen von George Cruikshank."
