Description: Pip doesn't expect much from life...

A poor orphan boy raised by a cruel sister, Pip does not have much in the way of great expectations. Between his terrifying experience in a graveyard with a convict named Magwitch and his humiliating visits with the eccentric Miss Havisham 's beautiful but manipulative niece, Estella, the young lad seems destined to endure a life of misery and poverty. Then, an anonymous benefactor offers him a way out; a chance to leave behind the world he knows and embark upon the life of a young gentleman.

A tale of intrigue, unattainable love, and all the happiness money can't buy, Great Expectations is filled with magnificently wrought scenes and some of the most memorable characters in English literature.
