About the book
Oliver Twist is a bildungsroman by Charles Dickens, first published in serial form in the late 1830s. It follows an orphaned boy raised in a workhouse who makes his way to London and enters a harsh urban world shaped by poverty, crime, and questions of family and identity. Dickens keeps the story moving while using it to look closely at social conditions and the way they shape a young life.
It suits readers who want an English classic that is still easy to step into, with a clear central figure and a strong social setting. The book has been adapted many times for stage, film, and television, which says something about how direct and recognizable its world remains. If you like stories of growing up that also pay close attention to class and hardship, this is a natural place to begin.
