"The Adventures of Oliver Twist" Oliver Twist
is a child who lost her mother during childbirth and she finds herself having to live the first nine years of his life in an orphanage where he is beaten and abused. Nine years is sent to learn a trade by an undertaker, but even here the small Oliver suffered many injustices and so he decided to flee to London. During the exhausting journey the protagonist meets a contemporary who convinces him to stay with him at the house of Fagin, a former jew who heads a gang of young thieves. After a bit 'of time in which Oliver is secondary jobs comes the time of the first robbery, so the little orphan with Dawkins (the guy he meets along the way to London) and another of the gang decided to rob Mr. Browlow, the two boys manage to escape but Oliver is arrested, the man robbed decide, however, to testify in favor of Oliver, the excuse and it is hosted at his home. But just when the troubles seem Oliver will be finished once again led by Fagin, at which point the author continues the story intertwining the events that see a lot of Oliver have to do with good and generous people and other evil.
The book is very well written, in fact although not short runs faster thanks to the fact that follows a precise chronology. Also I think the author was good at describing the many "adventures" by Oliver to always surprise the reader, and then managing to avoid being bored. Finally, another thing that struck me is the irony that the author uses to describe certain attitudes of some stupid people.
