Charles Dickens — Great Expectations

1861 · Book · Public Domain

"Great Expectations" follows the orphan Pip from a country forge to false gentility in London, his fortunes secretly tied to an escaped convict. A masterpiece of plot and character, it is Dickens's most tightly constructed meditation on class, ambition, and gratitude.
