Podcasts about Fagin

Author Allison Epstein says when she read Oliver Twist, she found Charles Dickens' portrayal of Fagin, the novel's central scoundrel, to be stereotypical and antisemitic. But there was also something about the character that piqued her curiosity. Now, her new novel Fagin the Thief gives that character a backstory – and a literary second chance. In today's episode, Epstein speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about her research into where someone like Fagin might've grown up, her reimagination of the character's intentions, and how she came to view Dickens as a working writer.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this our 274th episode our guest is Stephen Fagin, Curator of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and author of “Assassination and Commemoration.” Since joining the Museum in 2000, he has appeared in numerous documentaries and television programs and given hundreds of media interviews, including appearances on the Today Show and Good Morning America. Fagin, who holds degrees from Southern Methodist University and the University of Oklahoma, also serves as Associate Editor of Legacies Dallas History Journal. In many ways, this episode has been 12 years in the making. In early 2013, when I was Night Editor of the Kokomo Tribune, a reader came into the office carrying a stack of yellowing editions of the paper. She said she had found them in her parents' attic and wanted to see if we wanted them before they headed to the trash heap. In the stack were three copies concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy: the Nov. 23, 24 and 27, 1963 editions of the paper. A few months later, in November 2013, I wrote a story about these historical newspapers and also a column about the assassination itself. After I left the Kokomo Tribune in 2017, I packed these newspapers up in a box and mostly didn't look at them for the next few years. Then, a few months ago, I found out I would have the opportunity to travel to Dallas for a work conference. I contacted the museum to see if they might be interested in receiving these newspapers as a donation. I also asked if someone there might be available to be a guest on this podcast. Megan Bryant, director of collections and intellectual property, kindly responded and said they would be glad to accept this donation. She also put me in touch with Stephen, who also kindly agreed to be interviewed while I was there. So, this past week, I carefully packed the newspapers in my bag and headed off to Dallas. After my conference finished, I headed over to the museum. I met Megan and handed over the newspapers, which are now housed under the prestigious title, “Rob Burgess collection.” Stephen and I then made our way to their studio on the first floor of the former Texas School Book Depository, which was a surreal experience to say the least. I then took the elevator to the sixth floor to check out the museum itself. During my visit, I also had the opportunity to hear Stephen deliver one of his weekly gallery talks, in which he featured Lee Harvey Oswald's 14-karat gold wedding band. Thank you to Megan, Stephen and the rest of the museum staff for such a wonderful experience. I have included links to photos of the historical newspapers I donated along with photos I took while I was in Dallas of Dealey Plaza, John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza, the stockade fence behind the Grassy Knoll and the museum itself. I also have links to my 2013 story, column and a 2019 story I wrote when I was Editor of the Wabash Plain Dealer in which I had the opportunity to interview the late, great musician David Crosby, including about his long-held belief that Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy featuring multiple shooters.

PEI author Steven Mayoff's newest book, The Island Gospel According to Samson Grief (Radiant Press, 2023) masterfully disrupts the idyllic picture often painted of Prince Edward Island. This is a darkly funny and thrilling story of spiritual dissonance and cultural satire in Canada's most wholesome province. Samson Grief, a reclusive painter from Prince Edward Island, is confronted by three red-haired figments of his imagination in the form of Judas Iscariot, Fagin, and Shylock. They claim to be messengers of “The Supreme One”, a genderless deity who has decreed PEI to be the new Promised Land, who also wants Samson to build the Island's first synagogue. Scared, confused, and seriously doubting his sanity, Samson eventually, though grudgingly, accepts the challenge amid increasingly bizarre obstacles in a new dystopian world.

Chapter 1:Summary of Oliver Twist"Oliver Twist" is a novel by Charles Dickens that follows the story of an orphan boy named Oliver who grows up in a workhouse and eventually escapes to London where he falls in with a gang of young pickpockets led by the villainous Fagin. Oliver is taken in by a kind-hearted gentleman named Mr. Brownlow, but is soon kidnapped by Fagin and forced back into a life of crime. Throughout the novel, Oliver is faced with numerous challenges and hardships, but ultimately finds his place in society and discovers his true identity. The novel explores themes of poverty, social injustice, and the power of kindness and redemption.Chapter 2:The Theme of Oliver TwistSome key plot points in "Oliver Twist" include Oliver's birth in a workhouse, his mistreatment at the hands of Mr. Bumble and the other officials, his escape to London, his introduction to Fagin and the gang of pickpockets, his rescue by Mr. Brownlow, his brief happiness with the Maylie family, and his ultimate redemption and reunion with his long-lost family.Character development in the novel is primarily focused on Oliver himself, as he grows from a naive and innocent orphan into a courageous and compassionate young man. Other important characters include Fagin, the cunning and manipulative leader of the pickpockets; Bill Sikes, the violent and brutal accomplice of Fagin; Nancy, a conflicted member of the gang who ultimately sacrifices herself for Oliver; and Mr. Brownlow, a kind and generous gentleman who becomes Oliver's protector.Some thematic ideas explored in "Oliver Twist" include the nature of poverty and social injustice, the corrupting influence of criminality and exploitation, the power of kindness and redemption, the importance of family and belonging, and the idea of society's responsibility to care for its most vulnerable members. Dickens also criticizes the hypocritical and oppressive institutions of his time, such as the workhouses and the criminal justice system, while advocating for greater compassion and understanding towards those in need.Chapter 3:Meet the Writer of Oliver Twist.In Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens demonstrates a mastery of writing skills and language style to effectively convey the emotions and meanings of his novel. Through the use of vivid imagery, rich descriptions, and intricate plot development, Dickens creates a world that is both realistic and engaging for the reader.One of the key writing skills that Dickens employs in Oliver Twist is his ability to create complex and multi-dimensional characters.

Through his use of descriptive language, dialogue, and dialect, Dickens is able to bring his characters and settings to life in a way that is both believable and compelling. Whether describing the squalid streets of London or the opulent halls of the rich, Dickens' language style is able to evoke a range of emotions in the reader, from sympathy and outrage to joy and despair.Furthermore, Dickens' skillful use of plot development allows him to explore themes of social injustice, poverty, and redemption in Oliver Twist. By weaving together various subplots and storylines, Dickens is able to create a rich tapestry of interconnected events that ultimately lead to Oliver's journey of self-discovery and growth. Through the twists and turns of the plot, Dickens is able to convey important messages about the power of kindness, the struggle for survival, and the importance of...

First, it was the famous novel by Charles Dickens back in 1838, then it hit the silver screen with many silent and sound ones.  Then it hit Broadway with the well-known musical version ... until finally it came back to theatres and won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1968. Oliver! is the fourth musical of the 1960s to win the top prize.  Its mixture of the dark story of a young boy escaping an orphanage, and wonderful music delighted audiences worldwide.  But does this film still resonate with movie lovers today? Looking back, does this Carol Reed directed film still deserve to be regarded as the best of that year?  Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Oliver!, as well as many other films from that year, and hear what film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1968 to.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHear RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, InstagramShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messanger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Tags: OscarsAcademy AwardsBest PicturewinnermoviesfilmreviewRewatching Oscarpodcast

Chapter 1 What is the Oliver Twist aboutOliver Twist is a novel written by Charles Dickens and published in 1838. The story revolves around the life of Oliver Twist, an orphan who faces hardships and challenges in 19th-century London. The novel begins with Oliver's birth in a workhouse, where he grows up enduring mistreatment and neglect. Eventually, he is sent to an undertaker, Mr. Sowerberry, but runs away due to ill treatment. Oliver then finds himself in the hands of a gang of young pickpockets led by the cunning Fagin. Under Fagin's mentorship, Oliver is introduced to a life of crime and encounters various characters, including the Artful Dodger and Bill Sikes. However, despite his exposure to this criminal underworld, Oliver remains inherently good-hearted and retains his innocence. Throughout the story, Oliver faces numerous trials and tribulations, including poverty, exploitation, and abuse. He encounters acts of kindness from some individuals, such as Nancy, a member of Fagin's gang who sympathizes with him. As the plot unfolds, Oliver's true identity and noble character are revealed, leading to dramatic twists and turns. The narrative explores themes of social injustice, poverty, the corrupting effects of society, and the power of love and compassion to overcome adversity. Oliver Twist is a compelling portrayal of Victorian England and its class divisions. It highlights the plight of the poor and shines a light on the harsh realities faced by orphans and destitute individuals during that era.
