Oliver Twist
Dickens, Charles

Language: English | Category: Novel (Social) | Audio Book: external webside

Oliver Twist is an 1838 novel by Charles Dickens. It was originally published as a serial.

Like most of Dickens’ work, the book is used to call the public’s attention to various contemporary social evils, including the workhouse, child labour and the recruitment of children as criminals. The novel is full of sarcasm and dark humour, even as it treats its serious subject, revealing the hypocrisies of the time.

It has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations, and the basis for a highly successful British musical, Oliver!.

Dickens, Charles - Casa desolada - Language: Spanish, Novel - Format: ePub, iSilo
Casa Desolada, dice Chesterton, representa el punto más alto de la madurez intelectual de Dickens, su obra central. Esther Summerson, abandonada al nacer por sus padres, es la protegida de John Jarndyce, un poderoso gentleman de (More) buen corazón que lleva años pleiteando a causa de una herencia. Esther vive en la residencia de Jarndyce, CASA DESOLADA, desde los dieciocho años, junto con Ada y Richard, primos adolescentes de John, huérfanos e indigentes a causa de la disputada herencia, a los que éste trata de orientar en la vida. La novela gira en torno a los avatares biográficos de Esther —cuyo relato en primera persona se intercala con el del narrador—, siempre luchando por encontrar su identidad, superar su origen y triunfar socialmente. «Leer» a veces resulta un término demasiado tradicional para la total entrega a que invita Casa Desolada, como apuntó Harold Bloom.
