About This Novel
"Oliver Twist" is the first socially critical novel by the British writer Dickens. It is set in the foggy city of London and tells the story of the tragic life experience and experiences of orphan Oliver. Oliver grew up in an orphanage and worked as an apprentice in a funeral parlor when he was only nine years old. Unable to bear the abuse, he fled to London alone, and was tricked by thieves into becoming their accomplice. Despite all kinds of inhuman hardships, Oliver still sticks to his inner innocence and kindness. This persistence finally helped him wait for a bright future: Mr. Brownlow, Mrs. Merrie and others provided a helping hand in time; at the same time, the truth about Oliver's strange life experience was also revealed step by step. While the novel profoundly reveals social ills, it also leaves a series of vivid characters in the history of British literature, and has been deeply loved by readers for more than a hundred years.
