Description

A newly repackaged edition of Charles Dickens's coming-of-age tale, Great Expectations, is now available. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition features an introduction, contextual essays, a map, and suggestions for further exploration by Victorian scholar Tanya Agathocleous.

The story follows Pip, an orphan whose life is changed forever after a terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes. He soon finds himself summoned to meet the bitter and decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella. A mysterious benefactor's sudden generosity sets Pip on a new path as he abandons his humble origins to begin a life as a gentleman.

Published nine years before Dickens's death, Great Expectations remains one of his most celebrated works. For over seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, offering authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
