Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The central theme of Great Expectations— How do we know who we are?— is one that preoccupied the heart and mind ofCharles Dickens. Here he weaves a timeless story where vindictiveness and guilt clash with love and gratitude. The orphan Pip; the convict Magwitch; the beautiful Estella and her guardian, the embittered and vengeful Miss Havisham; and the master lawyer Mr. Jaggers; all play their part in a story whose narrative force and psychological intensity never slackens. Graham Greene called the novel a book filled with secret prose giving us "the sense of a mind speaking to itself with no one to listen." Tragic, comic, filled with pathos as well as childhood memories with a twist, Great Expectations is considered by many to be Dickens' greatest novel.
