Description

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

This 1861 bildungsroman tells the story of Pip, an orphan who is catapulted from his childhood in Kent to become a young gentleman in London. As he navigates his new life, Pip must confront the mysterious benefactor who has changed his circumstances, as well as the troubling figures of Magwitch, Miss Havisham and Estella.

The novel explores themes of gain and loss, depicting both the horrors of the early nineteenth-century penal system and the rapid rise and fall of fortunes in Victorian society. Told through Pip's first-person voice, this story suggests that expectations often come with a price.
