Description

Charles Dickens's Great Expectations is a haunting and transformative novel that follows the life of Pip Pirrip as he navigates a series of events that change his life forever. A mysterious inheritance sets him on a path of discovery, as he encounters a convict, a bitter old woman, and a beautiful, cold-hearted ward, leading him to abandon his humble station and begin a new life as a gentleman.

This revised edition of the novel, first published in 1861, includes a map of Kent in the early nineteenth century and appendices on Dickens's original ending and his working notes, offering readers a unique glimpse into the mind of a great novelist at work. With its exploration of identity, class, and the human condition, Great Expectations remains a powerful and thought-provoking read.

Penguin Classics, a leading publisher of classic literature, presents this edition of Great Expectations, a testament to the enduring power of Dickens's writing and the series's commitment to providing authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
