    [synopsis] => One of the great novelist's most popular works, Oliver Twist is also the purest distillation of Dickens's genius.
Like most of Dickens' work, the book is, used to call the public's attention to various contemporary social evils, including the workhouse, child labor and the recruitment of children as criminals. The novel is full of sarcasm and dark humor, even as it treats its serious subject, revealing the hypocrisies of the time.
This tale of the orphan who is, reared in a workhouse and runs away to London is a novel of social protest, a morality tale, and a detective story. Oliver Twist presents some of the most sinister characters in Dickens: the master thief, Fagin; the leering Artful Dodger, the murderer, Bill Sikes...along with some of his most sentimental and comical characters. Only Dickens can give us nightmare and daydream together.
The novel has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations, and the basis for a highly successful British musical, Oliver!
