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 un jour, il refuse les traitements injustes qu'il subit et fuit vers Londres. Recueilli par une bande de jeunes voleurs, il découvre alors un autre monde, tout aussi cruel. Le destin cessera-t-il de s'acharner contre Oliver ?
Situé dans une communauté rurale anglaise, le roman explore les vies de plusieurs personnages, en se concentrant particulièrement sur Adam Bede, un charpentier aux valeurs morales solides. Les thèmes de l'amour, de la trahison et des classes sociales s'entrelacent alors qu'Adam navigue dans ses sentiments pour la belle mais imparfaite Hetty Sorrel. Eliot s'attaque aux complexités des relations humaines et à l'impact des attentes sociétales, offrant un portrait riche de la vie au XIXe siècle. Le récit souligne l'importance de l'intégrité personnelle et les luttes des individus face à leurs circonstances.

Archaeology in Reverse

Stephen Gill has learnt to haunt the places that haunt him. His photo-accumulations demonstrate a tender vision factored out of experience; alert, watchful, not overeager, wary of that mendacious conceit, "closure." There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passing through a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politic exchange. Then he remounts the bicycle and away. Loving retrievals, like a letter to a friend, never possession… What I like about Stephen Gill is that he has learnt to give us only as much as we need, the bones of the bones of the bones... --Iain SinclairContinuing to photograph where his award-winning book Hackney Wick left off, Stephen Gill also made Archaeology in Reverse in this personally cherished area of East London. Still making pictures with the camera he bought at Hackney Wick market for 50 pence, for this volume Gill focuses on things that do not yet exist.This magnificently produced book features traces and clues of things to come in a poetic, sometimes eerie and quiet photographic study of a place in a state of limbo prior to the rapid transformation that the area faces during the build-up to the Olympics in 2012.
