Oliver Twist, CharlesDickens's second novel, was first published as a serial that began in Februaryof 1837 and ended in April of 1839. The story is about a child, whose motherhad died, that was sent to a workhouse. Oliver was an innocent and pure boy.When he was eleven, he was tried to be sold from the workhouse as anapprentice, but he escaped from there. In his way to London, he met a boycalled Artful Dodger and then ended up with Fagin, the leader of a gang ofthieves, who taught children how to steal.
OliverTwistis notable for its unromantic portrayal by Dickens of criminals and theirsordid lives, as well as for exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphansin London in the mid-19th century. In this early example of the social novel,Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time, including child labor, therecruitment of children as criminals, and the presence of street children. Itis likely that Dickens's own youthful experiences contributed.
OliverTwist hasbeen the subject of numerous adaptations for various media, including a highlysuccessful musical play, Oliver!, andthe multiple Academy Award-winning 1968 motion picture. Disney also put itsspin on the novel with the animated film in 1988.

TREATS OF THE PLACE WHERE OLIVER TWIST
WAS BORN, AND OF THECIRCUMSTANCES
ATTENDING HIS BIRTH
Amongother public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will beprudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitiousname, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, aworkhouse; and in this workhouse was born; on a day and date which I need nottrouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence tothe reader, in this stage of the business at all events; the item of mortalitywhose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.
For along time after it was ushered into this world of sorrow and trouble, by theparish surgeon, it remained a matter of considerable doubt whether the childwould survive to bear any name at all; in which case it is somewhat more thanprobable that these memoirs would never have appeared; or, if they had, thatbeing comprised within a couple of pages, they would have possessed theinestimable merit of being the most concise and faithful specimen of biography,extant in the literature of any age or country.
AlthoughI am not disposed to maintain that the being born in a workhouse, is in itselfthe most fortunate and enviable circumstance that can possibly befall a humanbeing, I do mean to say that in this particular instance, it was the best thingfor Oliver Twist that could by possibility have occurred. The fact is, that therewas considerable difficulty in inducing Oliver to take upon himself the officeof respiration, — a troublesome practice, but one which custom has rendered necessary to our easyexistence; andfor some time he lay gasping on a little flock mattress, rather unequallypoised between this world and the next: the balance being decidedly in favour of thelatter. Now, if, during this brief period, Oliver had been surrounded bycareful grandmothers, anxious aunts, experienced nurses, and doctors ofprofound wisdom, he would most inevitably and indubitably have been killed inno time. There being nobody by, however, but a pauper old woman, who wasrendered rather misty by an unwonted allowance of beer; and a parish surgeonwho did such matters by contract; Oliver and Nature fought out the pointbetween them. The result was, that, after a few struggles, Oliver breathed, sneezed,and proceeded to advertise to the inmates of the workhouse the fact of a new burdenhaving been imposed upon the parish, by setting up as loud a cry as couldreasonably have been expected from a male infant who had not been possessed of thatvery useful appendage, a voice, for a much longer space of time than threeminutes and a quarter.
As Oliver gave this first proof of the free and properaction of his lungs, the patchwork coverlet which was carelessly flung over theiron bedstead, rustled; the pale face of a young woman was raised feebly fromthe pillow; and a faint voice imperfectly articulated the words, “Let me see the child, and die.”
The surgeon had been sitting with his face turned towardsthe fire: giving the palms of his hands a warm and a rub alternately. As theyoung woman spoke, he rose, and advancing to the bed’s head, said, with more kindness thanmight have been expected of him:
“Oh, you must not talk about dying yet.”
“Lor bless her dear heart, no!” interposed the nurse, hastily depositing in her pocket a greenglass bottle, the contents of which she had been tasting in a corner withevident satisfaction. “Lor bless her dear heart, whenshe has lived as long as I have, sir, and had thirteen children of her own, andall on ’em dead except two, and them in the wurkus withme, she’ll know better than to take on in that way,bless her dear heart! Think what it is to be a mother, there’s a dear young lamb do.”
Apparently this consolatoryperspective of a mother’s prospects failed in producing its due effect. The patient shookher head, and stretched out her hand towards the child.
The surgeon deposited it in her arms.She imprinted her cold white lips passionately on its forehead; passed herhands over her face; gazed wildly round; shuddered; fell back — anddied. They chafed her breast, hands, and temples; but the blood had stopped forever. They talked of hope and comfort. They had been strangers too long.
