Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist is a novel written by English author Charles Dickens. It was published in 1838. The first edition was titled: Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress. The main characters are Oliver Twist, Fagin, Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Maylie.

This story takes place in the streets of a small town and it is about a small boy with a big heart, who escapes from a workhouse and who is an ordinary person caught up in events. After escaping from a workhouse he decided to travel to London. During his journey Oliver meets the Artful Dodger, a nice boy who offers his help. Oliver is taken to a run-down house occupied by Fagin and his boys. Then Oliver understands that he gets into the rites of pickpocketing. His first theft is not a success and he is caught by the police. Mr. Brownlow, the victim of the pickpocketing, takes pity on him and takes him into his own home. The end of the novel is sort of a "happily ever after"-ending, but I like that sort of thing.

In my opinion, it is very exciting book. It is really worth reading, especially if you like to read about children and their adventures. Unfortunately, nowadays this book is not very popular, but Charles Dickens is a great person and I do not regret tha i have read this book.
