The D Case Or The Truth About The Mystery Of Edwin Drood
At an international literary conference in Rome in the near future, the greatest detectives in history (and literature) gather to solve the mystery of Dickens' unfinished novel THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD and end up solving the mystery of Dickens' own death. At this crazy conference are Father Brown, Holmes, Maigret, Poirot, Marlowe, Lew Archer and even Nero Wolfe. Dickens' marvelously atmospheric novel is read to them (or imprinted on their brains by a new Japanese technique), chapter by chapter - and for the reader the chapters are interleaved with the story of the goings-on at the conference. Part detective story, part comic academic novel, part science fiction, part playful scholarship, part Dickens, THE D CASE is dazzling, offbeat, hilarious and original. (Translated by Gregory Dowling)
Hard Times

He founds a school and charitably takes in one of the students, the kindly and imaginative Sissy Jupe, after the disappearance of her father, a circus entertainer.

Oliver Twist
The story of an orphan boy lost in London's underworld serves Dickens to reflect the world of the underworld, misery and social hypocrisy, in a story full of stereotypes, always surpassed by the author's mastery. The central thread, the adventures of Oliver from his beginnings in the most absolute poverty up to his ascent, are intertwined with tangential issues, which are sometimes predominant, since they are essential for the author's purpose: the social denunciation through the description of the London of the time, with its social and moral scourges ... In short, "Oliver Twist" is a story of good and bad, where the jovial, the sentimental, the gloomy and the tragic, with a narrative efficiency that makes that even today readers continue to identify with the characters, situations and criticism posed by the author.
