Pip, an orphan living with a cruel sister, discovers the world of London with the aid of an unknown benefactor - Random House, Inc.
Introduction by John Irving â¢Â Nominated as one of Americaâs best-loved novels by PBSâs The Great American Read
Pip, a poor orphan being raised by a cruel sister, does not have much in the way of great expectationsâuntil he is inexplicably elevated to wealth by an anonymous benefactor. Full of unforgettable charactersâincluding a terrifying convict named Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham, and her beautiful but manipulative niece, Estella, Great Expectations is a tale of intrigue, unattainable love, and all of the happiness money canât buy. âGreat Expectations has the most wonderful and most perfectly worked-out plot for a novel in the English language,â according to John Irving, and J. Hillis Miller declares, âGreat Expectations is the most unified and concentrated expression of Dickensâs abiding sense of the world, and Pip might be called the archetypal Dickens hero.â
