Über dieses E-Book
Oliver Twist is a story of a young orphan, Oliver, and his attempts
to stay good in a depraved society. The book exposes the miseries
of poverty and its degrading effects through society. Oliver
embodies innocence and incorruptibility. He was born and raised
in a workhouse, then forced to live with a group of petty criminals
and finally was adopted by a generous old man to live with him
happily. He faces many obstacles and lives through many horrors
throughout the novel.
The cruelty of institutions and bureaucracies towards the
unfortunate is perhaps the pre-eminent theme of the book, and
essentially what makes it a social novel. Like a true Dickensian
narrative, the dichotomy between Good and Evil are very clearly
marked out. The story with many twists and turns keeps the
reader engaged and imparts hope that benevolence can overcome
and depravity.

Autoren-Profil
Charles Dickens, perhaps the best British novelist of the Victorian era, was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England on February 7, 1812. His happy early childhood was interrupted when his father was sent to debtors' prison, and young Dickens had to go to work in a factory at age twelve. Later, he took jobs as an office boy and journalist before publishing essays and stories in the 1830s. His first novel, The Pickwick Papers, made him a famous and popular author at the age of twenty-five. Subsequent works were published serially in periodicals and cemented his reputation as a master of colorful characterization, and as a harsh critic of social evils and corrupt institutions. His many books include Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations, Little Dorrit, A Christmas Carol, and A Tale of Two Cities. Dickens married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, and the couple had nine children before separating in 1858 when he began a long affair with Ellen Ternan, a young actress. Despite the scandal, Dickens remained a public figure, appearing often to read his fiction. He died in 1870, leaving his final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, unfinished.
