Features: Charles Dickens (1812-1870), a literary giant of 19th-century Britain. Oliver Twist is one of his early masterpieces. Oliver Twist, the orphan, suffers from constant bullying since childhood in the workhouse, and after escaping to London, he falls into a den of thieves. The world around him operates like a mad machine, but little Oliver strives to uphold the purity and nobility deep in his heart. This determination eventually helps him reach a turning point: Mr. Brownlow, Mrs. Maylie, and others extend timely assistance; at the same time, Oliver's peculiar background gradually reveals the truth. While the novel delves into the social ills, it also leaves behind a series of vivid characters in the history of British literature, having been beloved by readers for over a hundred years.
