Charles Dickens - Oliver Twist

It is the first novel in English that has a child protagonist and is also notable for its treatment of world of criminals and their sordid lives.

Oliver Twist is one of the earliest social novels in the history of literature. He Talks about the crimes of the era, like the child labor or the use of children to make crimes.

Dickens mocks the hypocrisy of that era with sarcasm and black humor.

The synopsis is a fatherless child who spends a hard life as a child laborer in a cotton mill. But throughout his history, Oliver spends many adventures and dangers, even police problems.

I recommend this short book.
