Аннотация
Considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel, Great
Expectations traces the growth of the book's narrator,
the orphan Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow
dreams to a man with depth of character. From its
famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes,
the story abounds with some of Dickens' most memorable
characters. Among them are the kindly blacksmith Joe
Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the
eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward
Estella, Pip's good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket
and the pompous Pumblechook. As Pip unravels the truth
behind his own "Great Expectations" in his quest to
become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the
convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling
adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his
most important discovery of all - the truth about
himself.
