Description
"The gaunt, pathetic figure of orphan Oliver being refused more gruel has become a literary and cultural icon, embedded in our consciousness as a searing image of poverty and helplessness. Oliver Twist is a searing indictment of the workhouse, but it is in the criminal underworld that we find the real crux of the book: Oliver's struggle to be free of Fagin and Sikes, and his desperate search for a loving, nurturing home express the central theme of the evils of homelessness and its consequences. Oliver Twist is one of Dickens, most enduringly popular works."
