Early 19th century London, with its throngs of hapless paupers and sinister pickpockets, offered little likelihood for survival, much less triumph, for a woeful orphan left behind by a penniless young woman who dies in childbirth. But such is the world into which London’s master storyteller, Charles Dickens, thrusts the conquering Oliver Twist, perhaps the most unstoppable of all of Dickens’ colorful characters.
Oliver Twist falls prey to every odd and evil character inhabiting the lower levels of poverty-stricken south London during the Industrial Revolution. From the orphanage, where he is underfed, to the parish workhouse, where he is overworked, the indomitable Oliver meets and survives the uncaring parish beadle Mr. Bumble, corrupt pickpocket Fagin, brutal thief Bill Sikes and the mysterious Mr. Monks. Young Oliver is beaten, kidnapped, betrayed and left for dead, only to summon an uncommon passion for life that establishes the orphan as the symbol of society’s unstoppable underdog. Oliver Twist turns back the cruel hands of fate, conquering through his unwavering gentle nature.
Dickens, labeled by George Orwell as “the greatest writer of all time,†penned “Oliver Twist†when he was only 26, yet wrote courageously of the sadness and hopelessness of London’s workhouse squalor. Through the unforgettable characters and the pitiful ways in which they abuse each other, Dickens was able to affect social change.
