"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.
