OLIVER TWIST by CHARLES DICKENS
Around 1830 Agnes Fleming's birth in England un'ospizio a child soon after his birth remains an orphan of both parents, his father being dead Edwin Leeford fell ill in Rome. This baby is called the City by Mr. Bumble Oliver Twist, local dealer Hospice. Oliver unaware of the past of his family and especially to have a brother lived as a child suffering abuse and humiliation, living in filth, poverty and fear. Initially is sent to work by Mr. Sowerberry, undertaker, and then know the jew Fagin, who wants to become a perfect thief. I know many people deal with evil and selfish, who try to cheat others for their personal interests through which will be involved in events that lead him to understand that he hangs around a mystery that can not understand. After a childhood of suffering Oliver, now a teenager, unable to find people they can trust and give love and happiness. The story is divided into two parts: the first tells what happens to Oliver in person, but all the other facts that do not happen to the boy directly, but those that are built around the mystery of his family.
I really liked this book because at the end of the book you can understand the real reason why Oliver is persecuted by all, and why they happen all the mysterious events at the beginning of the narrative that you can not give an explanation. All this encourages us to read and ask questions that we will answer later. I was struck by the strength of this guy, despite the fear and the hardships he encounters in his life, never abandons the hope of a better life and faith.
