Als Findelkind im Armenhaus einer englischen Kleinstadt aufgewachsen, flüchtet sich der junge Oliver Twist aus den Fängen seines brutalen Lehrherrn nach London. Doch im Moloch der Großstadt gerät er bald an den skrupellosen Hehler Fagin, der ein seltsames Interesse daran zu haben scheint, Oliver in die Welt des Verbrechens hineinzuziehen ... Wegen seiner präzisen Milieuschilderungen und seines entwaffnenden Sinns für skurrile Komik zählt "Oliver Twist" bis heute zu den bedeutendsten und beliebtesten Romanen der englischsprachigen Literatur. (Dickens, Charles 1812 - 1870)
