Dickens's classic morality tale of a starving orphan caught between opposing forces of good and evil is a powerful indictment of Victorian England's Poor Laws. Filled with dark humor and an unforgettable cast of characters Oliver Twist, Fagin, Nancy, Bill Sykes, and the Artful Dodger, to name a few Dickens's second novel is a compelling social satire that has remained popular since it was first serialized in 1837-39.
The text for this Modern Library Paperback Classic is taken from the 1846 New Edition, revised and corrected by the author. It includes new explanatory notes and an appendix, A Brief History of the English Poor Laws.

评分《文学回忆录》中木心老师提到托尔斯泰说过:“忧来无方,窗外下雨,坐沙发,吃巧克力,读狄更斯,心情又会好起来,和世界妥协。” 再恰当不过。 顺便记下《回忆录》中另一段话: 年轻人还是要去读小说。人生多少事,只能“虽不能至,心向往之”。人的幸福,其实就到心向往之...
