Welcome
Dearest reader,
This digital corner explores literature that gives voice to the marginalized. Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, published in 1838, tells the story of an orphan navigating the harsh realities of early Victorian London. Through Oliver's journey, Dickens exposes the social injustices of his time—poverty, child labor, and the failures of the workhouse system.
Dickens drew from his own experiences and observations to create a powerful critique of society. The novel remains relevant today as we continue to confront issues of inequality and the plight of vulnerable children in our communities.
"Oliver Twist openly criticizes social injustice, and that is what makes this book so special. Dickens was one of the first writers to give a voice to the voiceless, telling stories that had never been told before."
