Oliver Twist
Charles Dickens is perhaps the English-speaking world’s most beloved novelist—and Oliver Twist is one of his most popular works. A heartbreaking tale that portrays the cruelty of the Victorian era at its worst, it has been adapted for film, for the theatre (including the classic musical, Oliver!), and for television. Dickens’s dark and gritty story follows the adventures of an unfortunate orphan who goes from a harsh work house into to the wider, more dangerous world of the London slums. Many of the book’s characters have become household names, in particular the colorful criminals Fagin and the “Artful Dodger.” Packed with pity, suspense, humor, and vitality, Oliver Twist captures the thrilling battle of good against evil...all with an innocent young boy at its center. The world's greatest works of literature are now available in these beautiful keepsake volumes. Bound in real cloth, and featuring gilt edges and ribbon markers, these beautifully produced books are a wonderful way to build a handsome library of classic literature. These are the essential novels that belong in every home. They'll transport readers to imaginary worlds and provide excitement, entertainment, and enlightenment for years to come. All of these novels feature attractive illustrations and have an unequalled period feel that will grace the library, the bedside table or bureau.

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.

Dickens Greatest Novels
Charles Dickens had a hard childhood, with a bankrupt father, little schooling and a miserable time in a blacking factory sticking labels on tins of boot polish. This is reflected in his three great novels of personal development, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist. A Christmas Carol is both a ghost story and a moral tale that has defined the pattern of Christmas celebrations from Victorian to modern times. These four books in one volume represent much of Dickens' finest writing.Great Expectations was the only one of these books not to be illustrated under the author's direction, but shortly after his death his publishers commissioned F.W. Pailthorpe to prepare the illustrations that are reproduced here. David Copperfield is illustrated by H.K. Brown, Oliver Twist by George Cruikshank, and A Christmas Carol by John Leech, the original illustrators of the books.

OWC Christmas Carol & Other Christmas Books
What was merry Christmas to Scrooge? Out upon merry Christmas! What good had it ever done to him?' Ebenezer Scrooge is a bad-tempered skinflint who hates Christmas and all it stands for, but a ghostly visitor foretells three apparitions who will thaw
Scrooge's frozen heart. A Christmas Carol has gripped the public imagination since it was first published in 1843, and it is now as much a part of Christmas as mistletoe or plum pudding. This edition reprints the story alongside Dickens's four other
Christmas Books: The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man. All five stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire, in pursuit of
his aim 'to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in a Christian land'.

Copperfield Dávid
Vajon én magam leszek-e saját élettörténetem hőse, vagy ezt a tisztet másvalaki tölti be: majd elválik - az itt következő Iapokból kell kiderülnie. Hogy életrajzomat életem legeslegelején kezdjem, feljegyzem (mint másoktól tudom és el is hiszem): egy pénteki napon, pontosan éjfélkor születtem, Megfigyelték, hogy ugyanabban a pillanatban szólaltam meg, mint az óra: én bőgni kezdtem, az óra pedig ütni kezdte a tizenkettőt. A bába és egy-két tudós szomszédasszony, akik élénk érdeklődést tanúsítottak irántam már jó néhány hónapja amikor még igazán nem volt semmi lehetőség arra hogy személyes ismeretséget kössenek velem, születésem napjával és órájával kapcsolatosan kijelentették: először is, hogy csupa szerencsétlenséget tartogat számomra a sors, másodszor pedig, abban a kiváltságban fogok részesülni hogy szellemeket és kísérteteket láthatok, Szentül hitték ugyanis, hogy ezt a két csapást egyetlen boldogtalan csecsemő sem kerülheti el - akár fiú, akár lány -, ha péntek éjszaka a késői órákban jön a világra."Charles Dickens a XIX. századi angol realista irodalom legjelentősebb alakja. Letehetetlen történetének hőse egy kisfiú, akit gonosz mostohaapja már gyermekként munkára kényszerít. Copperfield Dávid rengeteg szenvedéssel teli kalandot él át, azonban talpraesettsége és meleg szíve révén, meg persze néhány kedves ember segítségével, mindig felülemelkedik a kilátástalan helyzeteken.

OWC Mystery of Edwin Drood
Where is my nephew?, asked Mr Jasper, wildly. 'Where is your nephew?' repeated Neveille. 'Why do you ask me?' 'I ask you,' retorted Jasper, 'because you were the last person in his company, and he is not to be found.' The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Dick
ens's last novel, lay unfinished at his death. Speculation remains rife as to its probably conclusion; evidence suggests that, fascinated as Dickens was by details of the plotting, his basic concern was for character and appropriate setting, in parti
cular the character of the hero-villain, Jasper. The ancient city of Cloisterham, its cathedral a reminder of mortality, human frailty, and the lawful life, is an effective background for what Dickens daughter called a tale of 'the tragic secrets of
the human heart'. Humour is provided by a host of characters ranging fro Mr Grewgious, the admirable though eccentric lawyer, and Miss Twinkleton, guardian of the Young Ladies' Seminary, to Durdles, the hard-drinking stonemason, and Deputy, the irrev
erent lodging-house boy. This edition contains Dickens's working plans for the novel, and the text is that of the authoritative Clarendon edition.

Oliver Twist - Oxford Bookworms library (Stage 6)

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 ...
