Oliver Twist, or The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by Charles Dickens, and was first published as a serial 1837–9. The story is of the orphan Oliver Twist, who starts his life in a workhouse and is then apprenticed 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, which is led by the elderly criminal Fagin.Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens's unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives, as well as exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid–nineteenth 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.An 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Font too small on this edition
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2022

Nothing against the novel but I hoped this edition would have a decent size font due to the size of the book which is a bit large but the font was even smaller than I imagined. Probably a size 6 or 7 font. Going to find another version

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015
A boy is born in a small town and after the birth his mother dies. No one knowing where his mother came from this boy, Oliver Twist, becomes an orphan. Like many poor orphans at the time the story takes place Oliver is treated badly and luck never seems to be on his side.
He decides that he won‘t take this any longer and runs away to London to seek a new life there.
But in London he falls into the wrong crowd and gets involved with criminals and thieves.
Not liking the company any better than of his former tormentors Oliver wishes for kind and honest friends.
He wants to escape from the grip of the thieves. But is there a hidden reason for why they hold on to Oliver so tightly, could Oliver be something more than just another orphan?

I liked the variety of characters, there were both villains and thieves that only cared for themselves and then there were people that were kind hearted and helpful.
There is also a mystery to the story about where Oliver really came from. And it‘s interesting to wonder what the thieves are always scheming about.
