Résumé

In een van Dickens‘ bekendste romans volgen we het weesjongetje Oliver Twist. Hij heeft het niet makkelijk: hij belandt eerst in een weeshuis en daarna in een werkhuis, waar hij hard moet werken en weinig eten krijgt. Later wordt hij zelfs lid van een zakkenrollersbende.Dickens schreef de roman als aanklacht tegen de manier waarop veel kinderen werden behandeld in de Victoriaanse tijd. Het verhaal van Oliver Twist, die via de ontberingen van het werkhuis in de criminaliteit belandt, was in Dickens‘ tijd aan de orde van de dag.Oliver Twist is vele malen bewerkt tot films, en met name de musicalbewerking Oliver! is zeer beroemd.

Auteur

Charles Dickens (auteur)

Charles Dickens was an English novelist and social critic known for creating iconic fictional characters. He is considered one of the greatest Victorian-era novelists. His works, such as "A Christmas Carol," "Oliver Twist," and "Great Expectations," are frequently adapted and evoke images of early Victorian London. Dickens drew inspiration from his own experiences, including his father's imprisonment for debt. He began his career as a journalist and writer in his early twenties, and his unique style and humor quickly gained him fame. Dickens was also known for his philanthropy and advocacy for social issues. He made a trip to the United States and Canada in 1842 and expressed his condemnation of slavery. Dickens's novels often depicted the struggles of the poor and disadvantaged, challenging societal norms and advocating for change. Despite some criticism of his sentimentality, Dickens's popularity remained strong, and he is regarded as one of the greatest British novelists. He left a lasting legacy, with museums and festivals dedicated to his life and works.
