Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens is a Victorian novel exploring the harsh realities of nineteenth-century London. The story follows orphan Oliver, who escapes the workhouse only to become entangled with a gang of pickpockets led by the cunning Fagin. Through vivid depictions of poverty, crime, and corruption, Dickens delivers a critique of social injustices. Oliver’s struggle for survival and identity captivates readers with themes of innocence, resilience, and hope. This enduring classic remains a piece of literature, shedding light on the darker side of urban life in Dickens’s era. Summary by Lina
