Oliver Twist (Nonsuch Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Probably the best known of all Dickens works, Oliver Twist has been adapted for stage and screen many times. The story of an orphan, born into a workhouse, escaping into the open arms of a gang of thieves and criminals, was a damning indictment of the society of the time, and still retains a very real contemporary relevance. Peopled by some of Dickens most vivid and colourful characters, including Fagan and "the artful dodger," this is a dynamic tale of wonder and survival, a timeless work of literature of the highest quality.

Synopsis:

Oliver, an orphan in 19th-century London, falls into a den of thieves, but is finally rescued by Mr. Brownlow, a wealthy benefactor. In each of Barron's" Graphic Classics, an English literary classic is transformed into a dramatic graphic novel with superb, atmospheric color illustrations and a finely-paced narrative. The tale — chosen from among important novels in the literary canon — will keep young readers fascinated from first page to last." Graphic Classics make fine introductions for young readers to the riches of English literature. Books are available in both paperback and hardcover editions. In addition to the stories, each title features a brief biography and time line of its author, a list of his important works, a glossary, and an index. As such, these books are suitable for classroom use on junior and senior high school levels.
