Description

A classic tale of a boy of unknown parentage born in a workhouse and brought up under the cruel conditions to which pauper children were exposed in the Victorian England. With this novel, Dickens did not merely write a topical satire on the workhouse system and the role of the 1834 New Poor law in fostering criminality. He created a moral fable about the survival of good, a romance and a gripping story in which he exploited suspense and violence more effectively that any of his contemporaries.
