    • Una rappresentazione avvincente del lato oscuro e criminale di Londra, la storia segue Oliver Twist, un orfano che affronta il male e le avversità fin dalla nascita, scioccando i lettori al momento della sua pubblicazione. Dopo essere fuggito dall'ospizio e dal pomposo Mr. Bumble, Oliver viene attirato in un covo di ladri popolato da personaggi vividi come l'Artful Dodger, il brutale ladro Bill Sikes, il suo cane Bull's Eye e la prostituta Nancy, tutti sotto l'occhio vigile del maestro ladro Fagin. Fondendo elementi di Gothic Romance, Newgate Novel e melodramma popolare, Dickens ha creato un nuovo tipo di narrativa che critica una società crudele, intrisa di una sensazione di minaccia e mistero. L'opera offre una critica sociale profonda, rivelando le ingiustizie e le sofferenze dei più vulnerabili, mentre esplora temi di innocenza, corruzione e la lotta per la sopravvivenza in un mondo spietato.
