Widely acknowledged as one of Dickens' most impressive bildungsromans, Great Expectations narrates the story of Pip - a poor blacksmith's apprentice, who, through a rare turn of circumstance, rises to great wealth & respectability and grapples with the real business of living.
Considered one of Dickens' most psychologically perceptive novels, Great Expectations is peopled with literature's most enduring figures - from the fearsome convict Magwitch, to the good-natured Joe Gargery, the wealthy and eccentric Miss Havisham who waits in vain for her bridegroom and the beautiful, if cold, Estella. Even as Pip interacts with this colorful cast of characters and confronts adversity, he finds his great expectations of life shifting and evolving.
Dickens' penultimate completed novel - while making an incisive comments on subjects as substantial as social class & morality and portraying a vivid portrayal of mid-Victorian England - is ultimately a timeless coming-of-age story that has been rewarding and captivating readers for more than a century.
