About the Book

Great Expectations, novel by Charles Dickens,

first published serially in All the Year Round in 1860-61 and issued in book form in 1861. The classic novel was one of its author's greatest critical and popular successes. It chronicles the coming of age of the orphan Pip while also addressing such issues as social class and human worth.

Pip (Philip Pirrip) narrates the tale from an unspecified time in the future. He grows up in the marshlands of Kent,
where he lives with his disagreeable sister and her sweet-natured husband,
the blacksmith Joe Gargery. While visiting his family members' graves in the churchyard, the young Pip encounters Abel Magwitch,
an escaped convict. Pip brings him food and a file, but the fugitive and Compeyson-his former partner in crime and a supposed
gentleman who is now his enemy-are soon caught. Later Pip is requested to pay visits to Miss Havisham, a woman driven half-mad
years earlier by her lover's departure on their wedding day. Living with Miss Havisham at Satis House is her adopted daughter, Estella,
whom she is teaching to torment men with her beauty. Pip, at first cautious, later falls in love with Estella, who does not return his affection.
He grows increasing ashamed of his humble background and hopes to become a gentleman, in part to win over Estella. However,
he is disappointed when he instead becomes Joe's apprentice.
Several years later a lawyer named Mr. Jaggers appears and informs Pip that an anonymous benefactor has made it possible for him to go to London for an education;
Pip believes that the money is from Miss Havisham, who does not dissuade him of the notion. Once in London, Pip is taught to be a gentleman by Matthew Pocket and his son Herbert,
the latter of whom Pip met years earlier at Satis House. Also receiving instruction is the slow-witted and unlikable Bentley Drummle.

Great Expectations works on a number of levels: as a critique of Victorian society and as an exploration of memory and writing. However, it is perhaps more importantly a search for true identity.
During the course of the novel, Pip comes to realize that his "great expectations"-social standing and wealth-are less important than loyalty and compassion. Great Expectations was also noted for its blend of humour,
mystery, and tragedy. In the original ending of the work, Pip and Estella were not reunited, but Dickens was persuaded to write a happier conclusion.

The novel was an immediate success upon its publication in the 1860s. George Bernard Shaw notably hailed it as Dickens's "most compactly perfect book."
Great Expectations inspired numerous adaptations, including an acclaimed 1946 film directed by David Lean.
