Présentation de l'éditeur
Once upon a time it was held to be a coarse and shocking circumstance, that some of the characters in these pages are chosen from the most criminal and degraded of London spopulation. As I saw no reason, when I wrote this book, why the dregs of life (so long as their speech did not offend the ear) should not serve the purpose of a moral, as well as its froth and cream, I made bold to believe that this same Once upon a time would not prove to be all-time or even a long time. I saw many strong reasons for pursuing my course. I had read of thieves by scores ;seductive fellows (amiable for the most part), faultless in dress, plump in pocket, choice in horse-flesh, bold in bearing, fortunate in gallantry, great at a song, a bottle, pack of cards or dice-box, and fit companions for the bravest. But I had never met (except in Hogarth) with the miserable reality. It appeared to me that to draw a knot of such associates in crime as really did exist ;to paint them in all their deformity, in all their wretchedness, in all the squalid misery of their lives ;to show them as they really were, forever skulking uneasily through the dirtiest paths of life, with the great black ghastly gallows closing up their prospect, turn them where they might; it appeared to me that to do this, would be to attempt a something which was needed, and which would be a service to society. And I did it as I best could. In every book I know, where such characters are treated of, allurements and fascinations are thrown around them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a profound social novel that exposes the cruelties of the English Poor Laws through the story of Oliver Twist, an orphan boy who endures a harsh and unforgiving world. The narrative follows Oliver as he falls under the guardianship of a series of cruel and exploitative caretakers, vividly portraying the harsh lives of the poor and outcast in 19th-century England. Through its thought-provoking exploration of societal ills and class divisions, the book remains a potent critique of social and economic injustices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
