| Summary |
"Los Ladrones de Londres" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Oliver Twist, a young orphan who faces a grim and unforgiving world after being born into a workhouse. As he navigates through life, Oliver encounters a series of unfortunate events and morally ambiguous characters, shedding light on the harsh realities of society. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the circumstances of Oliver's birth within a Charity House, where he is quickly faced with the struggles of being an orphan. His mother dies shortly after giving birth, and Oliver is left to grow up under neglectful and abusive care. The narrative vividly depicts the injustices Oliver faces, from meager rations and cruel treatment in the workhouse to his longing for a better life. The story immediately sets up a tone of sympathy for Oliver while foreshadowing the challenges he will encounter on his journey through a morally complex society.
