Oliver Twist + CD Oxford Bookworms Library 6
London in the 1830s was no place to be if you were a hungry ten-year-old boy, an orphan without friends or family, with no home to go to, and only a penny in your pocket to buy a piece of bread. But Oliver Twist finds some friends - Fagin, the Artful Dodger, and Charley Bates. They give him food and shelter, and play games with him, but it is not until some days later that Oliver finds out what kind of friends they are and what kind of 'games' they play ...

Little Dorrit
When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in the affairs of Amy's father, William Dorrit, a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in the Marshalsea. As Arthur soon discovers, the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls to affect the lives of many, from the kindly Mr Panks, the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and the tipsily garrulous Flora Finching, to Merdle, an unscrupulous financier, and the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. A masterly evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, "Little Dorrit" is one of the supreme works of Dickens' maturity.

Záhada Edwina Drooda
Jedná se o zřejmě nejslavnější nedokončený román ve světové literatuře - tajuplný příběh s vraždou a s několika duchařskými motivy. Je bezmála neuvěřitelné, že v nejnapínavějším místě román končí, protože Dickens při práci na tomto díle zemřel. Otevřený konec však přímo vybízí čtenáře k úvahám, jak celý příběh dopadne. Dickens se touto nesmírně napínavou knihou stylisticky i formálně posunuje do 20. století a předjímá moderní román.

Bleak House (Oxford World´s Classics)
Bleak House, Dickens's most daring experiment in the narration of a complex plot, challenges the reader to make connections--between the fashionable and the outcast, the beautiful and the ugly, the powerful and the victims. Nowhere in Dickens's later novels is his attack on an uncaring society more imaginatively embodied, but nowhere either is the mixture of comedy and angry satire more deftly managed.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
