《雾都孤儿》是作者的第一部社会小说,年轻的狄更斯以现实派画家威廉-荷加斯为榜样,抱着改造社会、抗议社会的抱负,描写一个沦于底层的孤儿奥利弗的悲惨遭遇。奥利弗自幼遭到遗弃,在孤儿院长大,因不堪棺材店老板的欺压,逃到伦敦,不幸落入狠毒的窃贼团伙首领费金之于,被训练成扒手。一次上街行窃,因误会而被警察抓获,释放后由好心的绅士布朗洛所收养。此后又再次落入贼手,在心地善良的女扒手南希的协助下终于逃出贼窝,碰巧遇到自己的姨妈罗斯小姐,并找回本应由他继承的遗产。
小说以孤儿奥利弗为线索,广泛地展示了社会底层人们的生活,以及广大以奥利弗、南希、罗斯为代表的善良人们的美好品喷,他们虽生活不幸,但都保持着美好的天性,给那个苦难深重、黑暗重重的雾都伦敦增添了些许亮色,洋溢着深厚的人道主义光辉。 文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1759.html

The story of Oliver Twist - orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shocked readers when it was published. 文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1759.html
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 is the first critical edition to faithfully reproduce the text as its earliest readers would have encountered it from its serialisation in Bentley's Miscellany, and includes an introduction by Philip Horne, a glossary of Victorian thieves' slang, a chronology of Dickens's life, a map of contemporary London and all of George Cruikshank's original illustrations. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. 文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1759.html
