When Oliver Twist is born, his mother dies and he becomes an orphan. He spends his first nine years in a workhouse. When he is nine years old, Oliver is sent to a coffin-maker’s workshop and becomes an apprentice. After he is beaten by the other apprentice, Oliver runs out at night and set out for London on foot. When he gets into London, he meets Dodger, who takes him to an old “gentleman” named Fagin. Fagin trains children to be thieves. But Oliver doesn’t realize that until he’s actually out with Dodger and another boy. Oliver sees the pair steal the pocket handkerchief out of an old gentleman’s pocket. When Oliver turns to run away, he is caught and taken to the police station. The nice old man (his name is Mr. Brownlow) is sorry for Oliver when he realizes that Oliver is innocent. Oliver is very sick, so Mr. Brownlow takes him home and cares for him. Mr. Brownlow is surprised to find that Oliver looks much like the picture of a young lady on his wall. So he becomes interested in his birth. But he is not the only person who is interested in Oliver’s birth. Another man pays Fagin a high price, so that he can make Oliver a thief. He hopes Oliver will be caught by the police and driven out of the country…. This book is rewritten from “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens (1812~1870), which has been made into films and plays several times.

Oliver Twist was published in 1838. This story shows in vivid colors the miseries ofthe pauper's home where the inmates are robbed and starved, while the dead are hurried into unhonored graves; the haunts of villains and thieves, where the wretchedpoor are purposely made criminals by those who have sinned past hope; and one wrong-doing is used to force the victim deeper in vice. With such lives are interwoven those of a better sort, showing how men and women in all grades have power on others for good or ill. Oliver Twist — so called because the workhouse master had just then reached the letter "T" in naming the waifs — was born in the poorhouse, where his mother's wanderings ceased forever. When the hungry lad asked for more ofthe too thin gruel he was whipped. Bound out to work, he runs away from this slavery and goes to London. The Artful Dodger takes the starving lad to the den of Fagin the Jew, the pickpocket's school. But he will not steal. He finds a home. He is kidnapped, and forced to be again with the bad ones, and to act as helper to Sykes the robber in house-breaking. Nancy's womanly heart, bad though her life may be, works to set him free. Once more good people shelter him, rescuing him without assistance ofthe Bow Street officers, who make brave talk. The kind old scholar, Mr. Brownlow, is the good genius who opens before him a way to liberty and a life suited to his nature. The excitable country doctor deceives the police, and saves Oliver for an honest career. The eccentric Mr. Grimwig should not be overlooked. The mystery of his mother's fate is solved, and he finds a sister ...

The story of Oliver Twist - orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shocked readers when it was published. After running away from the workhouse and pompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver finds himself lured into a den of thieves peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over by cunning master-thief Fagin. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.
