Description: In this story of Pip, a young mon who means well but often does wrong, Charles Dickens has created what many critics consider his best novel. Great Expecta- lions hos a colorful range of characters and action without excess of detail. A dramatic, suspenseful plot replaces the episodic structure of the earlier novels. The sense of ploce and atmosphere is evocative and sharply defined.

All Dickens' books arc cnioyoble, all his characters memorable. He is perhaps the only novelist every English-speaking person is familiar with—and Great Expectations is the masterwork of this master story- teller.
