Oliver Twist, Vol. 1 (of 3) by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the early 19th century, centering on the trials and tribulations faced by the young orphan, Oliver Twist. Set against a harsh society, the story explores themes of poverty, social injustice, and the hardships endured by the vulnerable through Oliver's life journey. Born in a grim workhouse, Oliver loses his mother immediately after birth and is raised in an environment filled with neglect and cruelty. As he grows, he continues to endure unfair treatment and constant hunger, until one day he boldly asks for "more" food. This seemingly simple request costs Oliver dearly, propelling him into a journey marked by numerous challenges and new encounters. Though he tirelessly fights to maintain his survival and dignity, the world around him seems determined to break his spirit. Through this work, Dickens vividly portrays the cold-heartedness of society at that time, leaving a profound impact on readers.
