Stackars Oliver Twist! Det finns nog inte någon människa som vill byta plats med denna godhjärtade och tappre pojke, vars ensamstående mor dör i barnsäng så att han tvingas tillbringa sina första år på ett avskyvärt fattighus. Ensam och sårbar växer Oliver upp i skuggan av de hjärtlösa fattigreformerna i det tidiga 1800-talets England. Men en dag gör en hungrande Oliver det otänkbara: han ber om mer mat. Oliver får dock inte en skål havresoppa till. Han kastas i stället ut ur fattighuset, ut i en värld där han till slut hamnar i klorna på den onde Fagin och hans kriminella liga med unga pojkar. Snart blir det uppenbart för Oliver att också han ska läras upp till ficktjuv. Trots att hela världen verkar vara emot den hemlöse och fattige pojken kan Oliver aldrig sluta hoppas på att ett ljusare öde väntar om hörnet. Nog måste det finnas någon som kan rädda honom från lidandet.
Den klassiska berättelsen om Oliver Twist är Charles Dickens svidande uppgörelse med en omänsklig behandling av samhällets mest utsatta. Den är dessvärre lika aktuell idag som när den skrevs.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) anses vara den främsta av den viktorianska erans alla begåvade berättare. Med till lika delar samhällskritiska och humoristiska verk som Pickwickklubben, Oliver Twist och David Copperfield hör han till de allra mest inflytelserika författarna i den rika engelska romantraditionen. Oliver Twist blev en succé redan när den gavs ut 1838 och har sedan dess fängslat den ena generationen efter den andra. Historien har gestaltats såväl i musikaler som i filmatiseringar.

'Sets out the London of the 1830s before you, streets, people, pleasures, low life, prisons' Claire TomalinCharles Dickens's first published book, Sketches by Boz is a funny and touching collection of observation, fancy and fiction showing the London he knew in all its complexity - its streets, theatres, inns, pawnshops, law courts, prisons and, of course, the river Thames. His descriptions of everyday life and people seem to anticipate characters from his great novels - garrulous matrons, vulgar young clerks, Scrooge-like bachelors - while his powers of social critique shine in his unflinching depictions of the city's forgotten citizens, from child workers to prostitutes. This edition includes the original illustrations by George Cruikshank.Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Dennis Walder

‘The image of little Oliver Twist victimised by poverty, almost seduced by the specious excitement of crime, and then offered the possibility of a lucrative career in authorship is always compelling’ GuardianOliver is an orphan living on the dangerous London streets with no one but himself to rely on. Fleeing from poverty and hardship, he falls in with a criminal street gang who will not let him go, however hard he tries to escape. In Oliver Twist, Dickens graphically conjures up the capital's underworld, full of prostitutes, thieves and lost and homeless children, and gives a voice to the disadvantaged and abused.

This witty and amusing collection of short pieces shows Dickens liberated from the more formal and sustained demands of the novel and experimenting with a diverse range of fictional techniques. In his tales of the supernatural, he creates frighteningly believable, spine-tingling stories of prophetic dreams and visions, as well as more fantastical adventures with goblins and apparitions. Impressionistic sketches combine imaginatively heightened travel journals with wry observations of home and abroad, while in his dramatic monologues, Dickens demonstrates his talent for exploring the secret workings of the human mind. These short works display Dickens's exuberant sense of comedy and character as his imagination is given free rein.

Remembered for both his satirical and serious work, Robert Barnabas Brough (1828-60) was a playwright, journalist, poet and founder member of the Savage Club. Built around a series of inspired etchings by the celebrated artist George Cruikshank (1792-1878), this is a delightful fictional biography, 'from authentic sources', of that most colourful of Shakespeare's characters. We hear how our hero was descended from the great Saxon leader Hundwulf Falstaff, how the name is a corruption of 'False-thief', of his adventures with his beloved Prince Hal, and of Christmas 1412 with the Whittington family. Henry V's terrible rejection of him - 'I know thee not, old man' - is touchingly depicted, as are the episode of the laundry basket and other misadventures at Windsor, along with his sad death at the Boar's Head in 1415. First published in 1858, this book is a must-read for every lover of this larger-than-life figure.

John Ayrton Paris (1785-1856), writer and physician, became a member of the Linnean Society in 1810, and served as president of the Royal College of Physicians from 1844 until his death. Intended for children and originally composed for the author's family, this three-volume work about science was first published in 1827. Dedicated to the writer Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) and with illustrations by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), it aims 'to blend amusement with instruction', since youth, as Paris writes, 'is naturally addicted to amusement'. Topics covered in Volume 1 include momentum, geometry, elasticity and rotatory motion; the science behind these is demonstrated using a yo-yo, a jack-in-the-box and a slingshot, among various other toys and games. A fascinating and popular text in the history of science education, the engaging narrative seeks to prove 'how profitably, and agreeably, the machinery of fiction may be worked for the dissemination of truth'.

Smollett’s last rollicking picaresque novel, published in 1771, is considered one of his funniest. Inspired by the author’s return to his native Scotland, it is told in the form of letters penned by six characters—most of whom have decidedly different takes on a group tour of England’s seaside spas towns and resorts.
