Ürün Tanıtımı

The story of Oliver Twist -orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shockedreaders when it was published. After running away from the workhouse andpompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver finds himself lured into a den of thievespeopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglarBill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over bycunning master-thief Fagin. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the NewgateNovel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction,scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettablesense of threat and mystery.

This Penguin Classics edition ofOliver Twist is the first critical edition to faithfully reproduce the text asits earliest readers would have encountered it from its serialisation inBentley's Miscellany, and includes an introduction by Philip Horne, a glossaryof Victorian thieves' slang, a chronology of Dickens's life, a map ofcontemporary London and all of George Cruikshank's original illustrations.
