Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens is a novel originally published as a serial from 1837 to 1839. The story follows orphan Oliver Twist, who escapes a workhouse and finds himself in London among a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the criminal Fagin. As Oliver navigates this dangerous underworld, mysteries surrounding his parentage begin to surface. Dickens exposes the cruel treatment of orphans and the sordid lives of criminals in mid-19th century England, creating an early social novel that satirizes child labor and exploitation.
