Oliver Twist: Oliver Twist, Frisian edition

by Charles Dickens

Overview

Nei't er fan it wurkhûs en de pompe beadle, Mr Bumble, rûn is, fynt Oliver him lokkich yn in kûle fan dieven folop troch libbene en memorabele karakters - de Artful Dodger, wrede ynbreker Bill Sikes, syn hûn Bull's Eye, en prostituee Nancy, allegear tafersjoen troch slûchslimme master-dief Fagin. Kombinearjen eleminten fan Gothic Romance, de Newgate Novel en populêre melodrama, makke Dickens in folslein nij soarte fan fiksje, skande yn syn beskuldiging fan in wrede maatskippij, en trochjûn troch in ûnferjitlike gefoel fan bedriging en mystearje.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
