HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender young creature! what a nice plump mouthful - she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both."' Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such as The Golden Goose, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince, and Snow-White and Rose-Red remain as popular today as when first told, although there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original stories that has softened over time.
Pôsobivý obraz temného zločineckého podsvetia Londýna, príbeh sleduje Oliviera Twista, sirotu, ktorý čelí zlu a nepriazni od svojho narodenia, čo šokovalo čitateľov pri jeho vydaní. Po úteku z práce a pompézneho pána Bumblea sa Oliver dostáva do zločineckej skupiny plnej živých postáv, ako sú prefíkaný Dodger, brutálny zlodej Bill Sikes, jeho pes Bull's Eye a prostitútka Nancy, všetci pod dohľadom majstra zlodeja Fagina. Kombinujúc gotický román, prvky novely z Newgate a populárnu melodrámu, Dickens vytvoril nový druh fikcie, ktorý kritizuje krutú spoločnosť, preniknutú pocitom ohrozenia a tajomstva. Príbeh je prepracovanou kritikou spoločenských pomerov a zobrazuje ťažkosti, ktorým čelí chudoba a bezprávie.
