Great Expectations
Author: Charles Dickens
Synopsis:
Part of Penguin’s exquisite Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delightful and collectible editions are bound in vibrant, high-quality cloth with foil intricately stamped into the design.
Pip doesn’t anticipate much from life… His sister constantly reminds him that, as an orphan, he is nothing but a burden. But suddenly, everything begins to change. Pip’s confined world is shattered when he encounters an escaped convict, is invited to visit a mysterious old woman, and meets the coldly beautiful Estella.
Most astonishing of all, a mysterious benefactor provides him with the means to start a new life in London. Are these events truly random, or is Pip’s destiny woven together by a series of coincidences beyond his imagining?
