Описание:
Considered by many to be Dickens` finest novel, `Great Expectations` traces the growth of the book`s narrator, the orphan Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character. From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens` most memorable characters. Among them are the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward Estella, Pip`s good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket and the pompous Pumblechook. As Pip unravels the truth behind his own `great expectations` - in his quest to become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his most important discovery of all - the truth about himself.Похожие книги
