Great ExpectationsGreat Expectations

Written in the last decade of Charles Dickens's life, Great Expectations was widely praised and universally admired. This handsome hardcover edition from the Dover Bookshelf traces the journey of a young orphan named Pip from a hardscrabble rural life to the teeming streets of nineteenth-century London, unfolding a gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, and love and loss. Crafted with the same care and devotion that illuminate Dickens's transformative storytelling, the cover -- resplendent in a bold design and lustrous hue -- mirrors Pip's path of self-discovery and the complex web of people and experiences that shape him. This volume presents an affordable keepsake for dedicated Dickens aficionados and first-time explorers of his literary genius. Printed in the USA.
