This is terrible to read. Idk if it's the translation, but I'd rather read Hugo than this and Hugo is famous for being wordy. I thought Dickens wrote for the uneducated, however it is hard to imagine some 19th cenzury person who only barely reads reading this and having Fun. Twain is the real Dickens.
Retarded poors in the 19th century went home from the factory and read for their 2 free hours before bedtime.
>>24726392Dickens is great, especially Oliver Twist.
>>24726392It's one of his starker novels; the musical tricks people into thinking (it should be) otherwise
>>2472642219th century factory workers were more literate than modern Oxford grads.
>>24726392...so what is the twist?
>>24726707The twist is that it's almost void of that Dickensian sentiment and intimacy for which he's famous, and lovedOnly the poor and very poor figure is perhaps why
>>24726392I read it and I expected it to be all about Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger and their boyish adventures, and it just ended up being a stupid ad*lt romance novel. Lame.
>>24726862>and it just ended up beinga proto-existential novel of incredible bleakness (ftfy)>I read itsimpleton
