{"product_id":"the-adventures-of-oliver-twist-dickens","title":"The Adventures of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eBy Charles Dickens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story is of the orphan Oliver Twist  who starts his life in a workhouse and is then sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London  where he meets the Artful Dodger  a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal Fagin. Oliver  an innocent child  is trapped in a world where his only options seem to be the workhouse  a life of crime symbolized by Fagin's gang  a prison  or an early grave. From this unpromising setting  Oliver's pure-heart leads him on an adventure of a lifetime. Oliver Twist is notable for its unromantic portrayal by Dickens of criminals and their sordid lives  as well as for exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid-19th century. In this early example of the social novel  Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time  including child labour  the recruitment of children as criminals  and the presence of street children.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52798794137880,"sku":"9798890968111","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52798794170648,"sku":"9798890967909","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/9798890968111.jpg?v=1790924584","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-oliver-twist-dickens","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
