Oliver Twist naît orphelin dans l'Angleterre du XIXe siècle. Mal nourri, exploité dès ses plus jeunes années, le pauvre garçon endure tout avec patience. Mais il refuse un jour les traitements injustes qu'il subit et fuit vers Londres. Epuisé, affamé, il est recueilli par une bande de jeunes voleurs. Il découvre alors un autre monde, tout aussi cruel, où la ruse et la force sont les meilleures armes. Le destin cessera-t-il de s'acharner contre Oliver ? A l'occasion de la sortie en salles du film de Roman Polanski, Le Livre de Poche Jeunesse propose une nouvelle traduction d'Oliver Twist par Michel Laporte, qui restitue toute la fraîcheur et le rythme, la tendresse et l'ironie du chef-d'œuvre de Charles Dickens.
