Brief description
Uzbek translation of Oliver Twist , 1984
Label
Dickens had long been popular in the Soviet Union and its successor countries including Uzbekistan. This was partly because Karl Marx, who lived in London at the same time as Dickens, enjoyed his stories. Some even regarded Dickens as a hero of socialism for championing the cause of the poor and working classes. This 1984 edition of Oliver Twist was based on a Russian translation from 1974. Uzbek is a Turkic language completely unrelated to Russian but closely related to the Uyghur language and, more distantly, Turkish.
