内容简介

Vintage Youth is a limited edition gift pack which consists of beautifully designed separate volumes of "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens and Irvine Welsh s controversial bestseller "Trainspotting." "Vintage Youth" is just one of ten "Vintage Classic Twins" to collect. Each twin consists of two books: a specially designed limited edition of one modern classic title and one established classic work. The books in each pair have been carefully selected to provide a thought-provoking combination. "Oliver Twist": Oliver is an orphan living on the dangerous London streets with no one but himself to rely on. Fleeing from poverty and hardship， he falls in with a criminal street gang who will not let him go. Dickens graphically conjures up the capital s underworld， full of prostitutes， thieves and lost and homeless children， and gives a voice to the disadvantaged and abused. "Trainspotting": Choose us. Choose life. Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing and spirit-crushing game shows， stuffing fuckin junk food into your mouth; choose rotting away， pishing and shiteing yersel in a home， a total fuckin embarrassment tae the selfish， fucked-up brats ye ve produced. Choose life.
