Oliver Twist, Sohn unbekannter Eltern, wächst im Armenhaus einer Kleinstadt unter dem harten Regiment des selbstgefälligen Mr. Bumble auf. Er kommt zu einem Leichenbestatter in die Lehre, flieht ohne einen Pfennig nach London und gerät in die Fänge des Hehlers Fagin, der eine Bande jugendlicher Taschendiebe anführt.
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.

Regarded as one of Charles Dickens' finest and most ambitious works, Bleak House overflows with imaginative inventiveness as it engages readers with its intricate plot. First published in 1853, this Victorian epic centers on a complex court case surrounding a will that profoundly affects a wide array of interconnected characters. The story reveals secrets and evokes a spectrum of emotions, from selfless love to murderous hatred, while satirizing the British legal system of the time. The narrative follows Esther Summerson, the only female narrator Dickens employed, alongside a vibrant cast of characters as the tale unfolds across Victorian society. Comic moments intertwine with tragic developments, hidden motives are unveiled, and murder occurs before the inheritance question is resolved. Bleak House is not only a proto-legal thriller and genuine murder mystery but also transcends the conventions of its era, offering a rich and multifaceted reading experience.
Based on intimate knowledge of the poet's manuscripts, on a fresh look at contemporary records and on a study of the mass of material that has appeared since the last serious biography, this new account of Wordsworth focuses on what was most important to him - his life as a writer.
