EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION in a single book

Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition.

Charles Dickens's penultimate novel, Great Expectations, received universal acclaim upon its release in 1860-61. It is regarded as one of his greatest and most sophisticated novels, and is one of his most enduringly popular, having been adapted for stage and screen numerous times.

This masterpiece is written in a semi-autobiographical style, and depicts the personal growth and personal development of an orphan nicknamed Pip. On Christmas Eve 1812, Pip, who is about seven years old, encounters an escaped convict in the village churchyard while visiting the graves of his mother, father and siblings. The convict scares Pip into stealing food and a file to grind away his shackles, from the home he shares with his abusive older sister and her kind husband Joe Gargery, a blacksmith. Apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge, Pip dares to dream of becoming a gentleman - and one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of great expectations.

In this masterful tale of revenge and reward, wealth and poverty, love and rejection, the compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride - who have entered popular culture.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic, regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented international popularity during his lifetime. More than a century later, Dickens is still considered a literary genius, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society.

This outstanding novel is a must-read of classic literature and will delight readers of all ages.
