De avonturen van Oliver Twist   By: Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

I recently finished reading a classic novel that had been on my reading list for quite some time, and I must say it did not disappoint. The story follows the life of a young orphan named Oliver Twist as he navigates the harsh realities of poverty and crime in 19th century London.

The author, Charles Dickens, expertly portrays the struggles and injustices faced by the lower class during this time period. Through Oliver's experiences, the reader is confronted with themes of poverty, social inequality, and the corrupting influence of greed.

What stands out most about this novel is the richly developed characters and the vivid descriptions of London's bustling streets and dark alleyways. Oliver's journey from orphanage to the criminal underworld is both gripping and heartbreaking, and it is impossible not to root for him as he tries to find his place in the world.

Overall, "De avonturen van Oliver Twist" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today. Charles Dickens' masterful storytelling and powerful social commentary make this a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the darker side of Victorian society.
