The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

Dealing with burglary, kidnapping, child abuse, prostitution and murder Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens darkest works. The novel introduces famous and endurable characters in the form of the vile Fagin, hateful Bill Sykes, and the brooding Monk balanced on the brighter side by the hero Oliver Twist and The Artful Dodger. The tale also takes the corrupt and incompetent institutions of 19th-century England to task for making worse the very problems they set out to cure. Oliver Twist is classic Dickens with memorable characters, evocative descriptions, melodrama and a plot thick with coincidence. Please enjoy reading Oliver Twist, another masterpiece of English literature. This story is for the ones who haven't read Charles Dickens's novel ( Oliver Twist ) It's a Copy of story!
