Oliver Twist: Set up in the foggy capital of Britain, the story tells the sad life of an orphan called Oliver. He grows up in the orphanage, escapes from an apprenticeship, but is threatened to be a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Fortunately, with the help of kind people, he finally knows where he comes from, and gains happiness. An early example of the social novel, Dickens satirizes social problems such as orphanage, child workers, gangsters and juvenile crimes. (雾都孤儿:以雾都伦敦为背景,讲述了一个孤儿悲惨的身世及遭遇,主人公奥立弗在孤儿院长大,经历学徒生涯,艰苦逃难,误入贼窝,又被迫与狠毒的凶徒为伍,历尽无数辛酸,最后在善良人的帮助下,查明身世并获得了幸福。如同狄更斯的其他小说,本书揭露许多当时的社会问题,如救济院、童工、以及帮派吸收青少年参与犯罪等。)
