About this listen

 Oliver Twist was the second novel by Charles Dickens

First published in 1837, the story of the young orphan Oliver Twist and his life on the mean streets of London has fascinated and shocked ever since.

The young orphan Oliver Twist flees a cruel workhouse for the dirty streets of London, where he falls in with a nefarious gang. As the shrewd Artful Dodger, the menacing Fagin, and the vicious Bill Sikes lead Oliver deeper into a criminal life, a dark conspiracy is revealed around him.

Charles Dickens (1812 - 9 June 1870) is arguably the greatest novelist England ever produced.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The classic tale of a poor boy from a poor family 👦, a life of monstrosity that is easy come, easy go, but he flees the workhouse to the streets of London 🏙️, Fagin, Bill Sikes and the Artful Dodger.

For anyone who hasn’t read this novel, give it a go. I enjoyed it a lot. The book has so much substance to it, something lacking in all the film 📽️ and musical 🎶 portrayals to date.

Dickens is famous for his depth of characters although some dodgy anti-semitism such as the constant 'Fagin the Jew' references ✡️ exposes the age of this book. However, the variety and complexity in his description of scenery should definitely be commended.

We may all remember Bill Sikes 🐶 killing Nancy but we might not know that he killed Bullseye as well as accidentally hanging himself by mistaking his knots... one misunderstood slipknot tied later… ☠️ he dead. 📚 5/5 ⭐️ #BookReview
