DescriptionDickens fue un maestro de la narrativa y entre sus obras se destacan Las aventuras de Oliverio Twist, una novela de aventuras con trasfondo social, que cuenta la historia de un muchacho al que la vida ha destinado a ser delincuente pero que es salvado por su personalidad. El autor, ademas de mostrar que la vida del bandido no tiene el romanticismo con que la dibujaron otros autores de la epoca, crea una serie de acertados dibujos psicologicos de una serie de personajes, que van desde lo mas malvado y pervertido, hasta la ternura que acaba por redimir al protagonista.

Esta edicion, leida por el conocido actor Fabio Camero, presenta al publico una historia fascinante.
