"Oliver Twist" is one of Charles Dickens' most famous works, telling the story of the orphan Oliver Twist, who faces the harsh realities of life in nineteenth-century London. Oliver is born in a workhouse and is faced with cruelty and injustice from birth. Despite his trials, Oliver retains his purity and goodness. His journey is filled with danger, betrayal, and despair, but also with friendship, compassion, and hope for a better future. The novel raises important social issues such as poverty, child exploitation, society's cruelty and corruption. This book is not only a gripping story about survival and the struggle for justice, but also a criticism of the social order of the time.
