| Summary |
"De avonturen van Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative follows the life of Oliver Twist, a young orphan who endures hardship and mistreatment as he navigates the cruel realities of life in a workhouse and beyond. The book explores themes of poverty, social injustice, and the search for belonging through the eyes of its innocent protagonist. At the start of the story, Oliver Twist is born in a workhouse under grim circumstances, and his early life is marked by neglect and deprivation. The narrative depicts his struggles to survive in an unyielding environment, where he faces systematic mistreatment and a lack of compassion from those in authority. After a series of unfortunate events, including a notorious incident in which he bravely asks for more food, Oliver finds himself imprisoned and at the mercy of a community that seems bent on condemning him. The opening chapters set the tone for a harsh critique of societal norms and delve into the childhood of a boy who yearns for love and stability in a world filled with cruelty.
