Summary
Charles Dickens: Great Expectations
One of Charles Dickens' most fascinating novels follows the orphan Pip as he leaves behind a childhood of misery and poverty after an anonymous benefactor gives him a chance at a gentleman's life.
Written in 1860, at the height of Dickens's maturity, Great Expectations also reveals the writer's bitter understanding of the fact that our deepest moral dilemmas are born of our own obsessions and illusion.
