Présentation de l'éditeur
Penguin Classics give you the best, most trusted editions of Charles Dickens's novels, including all the original illustrations, introductions by leading writers and scholars, the definitive, accurate text as it was meant to be published, a chronology of Dickens's life, and notes that fill in the background to the book. The story of Oliver Twist - orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shocked readers with its unflinching portrayal of London's dark criminal underbelly when it was published. After running away from the workhouse and pompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver finds himself lured into a den of thieves peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over by cunning master-thief Fagin. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery. This Penguin Classics edition of Oliver Twist includes a glossary of Victorian thieves' slang, a map of contemporary London, all of George Cruikshank's original illustrations, and an introduction by Philip Horne discussing the novel's literary influences. Charles Dickens is one of the best-loved novelists in the English language, whose 200th anniversary was celebrated in 2012. His most famous books, including Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield and The Pickwick Papers, have been adapted for stage and screen and read by millions. If you enjoyed Oliver Twist, you may also like Nicholas Nickleby and Little Dorrit, also available in Penguin Classics. 'His novels will endure as long as the language itself' Peter Ackroyd 'He is our greatest novelist - every reread reveals more riches' Melvyn Bragg 'When Dickens has once described something you see it for the rest of your life' George Orwell

Rien à dire sur le fond, c'est un classique de la littérature, mais c'est la présentation qui laisse à désirer. Texte pas justifié, des retours à la ligne fantaisistes, des fautes de frappe...
