Synopsis "Oliver Twist"

Oliver Twist, or The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by Charles Dickens, and was first published as a serial 1837-9. Oliver Twist, Dickens, is one of the most brilliantly works reveal the genius of an exceptional novelist. A difficult and bitter childhood marked by poverty and imprisonment of his father, and relieved only by reading, marked forever the life of Charles Dickens, who found her literary inspiration. His novels combine realism, humor and extensive knowledge of the marginalized, whose situation continuously denounced. The story of the little Oliver, raised in a hospice, used and abused at a funeral, that the escape route to London is recruited by a gang of thieves who he does not recognize as such, is not only a superb showcase of very famous Dickensian creations (Fagin the leader of the gang of juvenile delinquents, the thief Jack Dawkins, the murderer Sikes, Nancy prostitute, the mysterious Monks, implacable pursuer of Oliver), but a magnificent and thrilling story about the embattled innocence. The various protective finding the hero is on his way we discover the idyllic and sentimental Dickens and thanks to them a web of secrets as dramatic as finally happy.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) nació en Portsmouth y era el primogénito varón de un funcionario de la Armada Real. A los doce años, el encarcelamiento de su padre por deudas lo obligó a ponerse a trabajar en una fábrica de betún. Su educación fue irregular: aprendió por su cuenta taquigrafía, trabajó como ayudante en el bufete de un abogado y finalmente fue corresponsal parlamentario del Morning Chronicle. Sus artículos, luego recogidos en Escenas de la vida de Londres por «Boz» (1836-1837), tuvieron gran éxito y, con la aparición en 1837 de Los papeles póstumos del Club Pickwick, Dickens se convirtió en un auténtico fenómeno editorial. Novelas como Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839) o Barnaby Rudge (1841) alcanzaron enorme popularidad, así como algunas crónicas de viajes, como Estampas de Italia (1846). Con Dombey e hijo (1846-1848) inició su época de madurez, de la que son buenos ejemplos David Copperfield (1849-1850), su primera novela en primera persona y su favorita, en la que desarrolló algunos episodios autobiográficos; La Casa lúgubre (1852-1853); La pequeña Dorrit (1855-1857), Historia de dos ciudades (1859), Grandes esperanzas (1860-1861) y Nuestro amigo común (1864-1865). Murió en Gad's Hill, su casa de campo en Higham, en el condado de Kent.
