This book was suggested to me by the good old curriculum in the international school I studied. Obviously, as a literature student, I was more than excited to endeavour a beautiful writing of one of the best known authors in the English world. Moreover, this book is a conflicting picture between sentimentality and happiness. The young pip, orphan falls in love with his playmate, Stella. The rich girl manoeuvres the young boy in games of card and also further on their life. Lets call that love can really change you, and this book is a true testament of it.
Great Expectations
'His novels will endure as long as the language itself' Peter Ackroyd Dickens's haunting late novel depicts the education and development of a young man, Pip, as his life is changed by a series of events - a terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - and he discovers the true nature of his 'great expectations'. This definitive edition includes appendices on Dickens's original ending, giving an illuminating glimpse into a great novelist at work. With an Introduction by DAVID TROTTER Edited and with notes by CHARLOTTE MITCHELL
