A gripping portrayal of London's dark criminal underbelly, the story follows Oliver Twist, an orphan who faces evil and adversity from birth, shocking readers upon its publication. After escaping the workhouse and the pompous Mr. Bumble, Oliver is drawn into a den of thieves filled with vivid characters like the Artful Dodger, the brutal burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and the prostitute Nancy, all under the watchful eye of master-thief Fagin. Blending Gothic Romance, Newgate Novel elements, and popular melodrama, Dickens crafted a new kind of fiction that critiques a cruel society, imbued with a sense of threat and mystery. The narrative explores themes of poverty, crime, and the struggle for identity, highlighting the harsh realities of life for the underprivileged in Victorian England. Through Oliver's journey, Dickens sheds light on social injustices, making "Oliver Twist" a timeless exploration of humanity and morality.

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.
