Sinossi
Sullo sfondo di una Londra cupa e fuligginosa, Oliver Twist, un piccolo orfano la cui madre è morta dandolo alla luce, vive le sue avventure. Allevato per nove anni in un ospizio di mendicanti, dove ha conosciuto soprattutto fame, duro lavoro e severe punizioni, Oliver finisce coinvolto suo malgrado in una serie di imprese criminose e alla fine viene tratto in salvo e adottato da un gentiluomo. Aperto atto di denuncia contro lo sfruttamento minorile così diffuso nell'Inghilterra della Rivoluzione industriale, "Le avventure di Oliver Twist" (1837) è un'opera affascinante e coinvolgente, il ritratto commovente di un'infanzia negata condotto con verve realistica, freschezza di scrittura e una sottile, irresistibile vena di humour nero. Introduzione di G.K. Chesterton.

The dawn of the use of social criticism as main plot element while overusing the modern readers' tolerance for suspension of disbelief by making the whole story a bit too unrealistic optimistic and too full of coincidences, a kind of trademark of Dickens work as he didn´t MacGuffined and Chekhoved e Leggi tutto
In recent years, I have become bewitched by all things gothic, and I was curious to discover to what extent gothic tropes and examplars may have influenced the imagery and structure of Dicken's first serious novel. Specifically, I was interested in how gothic elements might be expressed in "Oliver T Leggi tutto
Beams of Brillance Let’s start off with a confession: Oliver Twist is boring. Good…we got that out of the way. While the plot is tolerable, it can be very slow paced. For example, in one vignette, a dying woman has a confession to make. But it took an entire chapter to get there. Come on! Just spit it Leggi tutto
Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens's best known stories. Characters such as the evil Fagin, with his band of thieves and villains, the Artful Dodger with "all the airs and manners of a man," the house-breaker Sikes and his dog, the conscience-stricken but flawed Nancy, the frail but determined O Leggi tutto
