Όλιβερ Τουίστ

by Anne de Graaf, Charles Dickens (Original Novel), Εύη Σγουρίδου-Κρυοβρυσανάκη (Translator)

Ο Όλιβερ Τουίστ είναι μια συγκινητική ιστορία ενός πάμπτωχου, ορφανού αγοριού, που γεννήθηκε στην Αγγλία πριν από 150 χρόνια περίπου. Ο Όλιβερ μεγαλώνει σ' ένα ορφανοτροφείο και έπειτα πηγαίνει σ' ένα ίδρυμα. Στη συνέχεια δουλεύει για έναν εργολάβο κηδειών. Εκεί τον ξυλοφορτώνουν και τον κακομεταχειρίζονται. Ο Όλιβερ το σκάει, φθάνει στο Λονδίνο και χωρίς να το καταλάβει μπλέκεται σε μια συμμορία ληστών. Καταφέρνει να ξεφύγει από τις δόλιες μεθόδους και τα πανούργα σχεδιά τους. Τελικά, οι φίλοι του τον βοηθούν να ανακαλύψει ποιός πραγματικά είναι και, όσο περίεργο και αν φαίνεται, ο μικρός Όλιβερ βρίσκει αγάπη.
Η ιστορία περιγράφει πώς το καλό θριαμβεύει στη μάχη ενάντια στο κακό στα κακόφημα μέρη του Λονδίνου εκείνου του καιρού, με τον Όλιβερ να είναι πάντα αισιόδοξος, ευαίσθητος και τρυφερός.
Η Ανν ντε Γκάαφ αποδίδει αυτή την κλασική ιστορία, χρησιμοποιώντας μοντέρνο τρόπο γραφής, έτσι ώστε το παλιό κείμενο να γίνεται κατανοητό για τα παιδιά του σήμερα. Καταφέρνει να διατηρεί τη γνησιότητα του πρωτότυπου έργου, εξασφαλίζοντας τη μεγάληφήμη του Όλιβερ Τουίστ για τις γενιές που ακολουθούν.

500 pàgines en 60, això no ho pot fer tothom
tot i així, no m'ha acabat d'enganxar. no me'n recordava de qui era qui i anaven apareixent nous personatges tota l'estona. l'oliver surt molt poc 😔 i hi ha estereotips racistes, que entenc que és per l'època però segueixent sent racistes

While this book is still poignant, humorous, and full of interesting characters and plot twists, this is definetly not one of Dickens finest books...but it's understandable because it's one of his first books. The way everyone is related or knows each other in this book is a little less than coincidence, and a little more corny, but you have to love Bumble and pitty Oliver!

El cuarto relato escrito al puro estilo de Charles dickens donde nos presenta los problemas cotidianos de la sociedad contemporánea del siglo 19 en Londres como toda historia de Charles dickens aborda temas que puede sucederle a cualquier persona común y corriente traición dolor maltrato robos y abusos son los temas principales de esta pequeña historia Oliver twist es un pequeño héroe que ha pasado por mucho sufrimiento Y qué ha sido víctima de mentiras y traiciones el final es hermoso porque al final de cuentas Olivia recibe lo que quería y lo que necesitaba muy buen libro

I bought this book when i was in middle school and i never read it until a few weeks ago. when i saw this book on my bookshelf, i finally picked it up and started to read. i have to say it was pretty boring in the beginning. i was almost going to put in back onto the shelf, but i did't. As a read on, the story became more interesting. oliver twist, a orphan since a baby was starved and beaten by his caretakers. when he grew older, he was sold to a coffin maker, his life didnt get any better, so he escaped. in this chaotic situation, he made friends with thieves, liars, murders and many people that lived in the dark side of the world. just when i thought his life wasnt going to get any better, oliver was saved by a old and wealthy man that greatly cared for him. it seemed like oliver was finally going to live the life a normal kid like him should have lived, when the robbers stole him back. in all this confusion, a woman and her aunt took him in. they protected him from the robbers and finally joined force with the old man and figure out why the robbers wanted oliver.
this book was boring in the beginning, but towards the middle, it was definitely worth reading. i highly recommend this book.

Casey listened to this on tape and I almost liked it better but sometimes you couldn't tell what they were saying because of the bloody accents.

[Pamela · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm only on about pg. 40...but it was interesting just in the first few pages. Dickens style in this is very cynical and entertaining.
