| Summary | "Oliver Twist, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers around Oliver Twist, a young orphan born in a workhouse, who faces a life of hardship and adversity at the hands of a cruel society. It explores themes of poverty, social injustice, and the struggles of the vulnerable as Oliver navigates the trials of his unfortunate upbringing. At the start of the book, we witness Oliver's bleak beginnings as he is born in a workhouse under grim circumstances. His mother dies shortly after giving birth, leaving him to be raised in a harsh environment filled with neglect and cruelty. As Oliver grows, the substandard treatment continues, and he faces cruel guardians and inadequate nourishment, leading him to a breaking point where he famously asks for "more" food. This act of defiance results in further consequences for Oliver, setting the stage for a series of challenging circumstances and encounters as he fights for his survival and dignity in a world that seems bent on breaking his spirit.
