Great Expectations

One of Charles Dickens's most beloved novels - an unforgettable story of ambition, love, and the making of a gentleman. Orphaned and raised by his harsh sister in the bleak marshes of Kent, young Pip's life changes forever after a terrifying encounter with an escaped convict and an even stranger one with the reclusive Miss Havisham, frozen in time in her decaying mansion, and her cold, beautiful ward Estella. When an anonymous benefactor grants Pip a fortune and the chance to become a gentleman in London, he must reckon with what wealth, love, and true worth really mean. Rich with Dickens's unforgettable characters the convict Magwitch, the jilted Miss Havisham, the loyal blacksmith Joe Great Expectations is at once a gripping mystery, a searing critique of Victorian class ambition, and one of literature's great stories of moral awakening.
