Great Expectations, Paperback/Charles Dickens

Descriere & specificații

Introduction by George Bernard Shaw Pip, a poor orphan being raised by a cruel sister, does not have much in the way of great expectations--until he is inexplicably elevated to wealth by an anonymous benefactor. Full of unforgettable characters--including a terrifying convict named Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham, and her beautiful but manipulative niece, Estella, Great Expectations is a tale of intrigue, unattainable love, and all of the happiness money can't buy. `` Great Expectations has the most wonderful and most perfectly worked-out plot for a novel in the English language,`` according to John Irving, and J. Hillis Miller declares, `` Great Expectations is the most unified and concentrated expression of Dickens's abiding sense of the world, and Pip might be called the archetypal Dickens hero.`` INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE
