Great Expectations

One of Charles Dickens's most beloved novels — an unforgettable story of ambition, love, and the making of a gentleman. Orphaned and raised by his harsh sister in the bleak marshes of Kent, young Pip's life changes forever after a terrifying encounter with an escaped convict — and an even stranger one with the reclusive Miss Havisham, frozen in time in her decaying mansion, and her cold, beautiful ward Estella. When an anonymous benefactor grants Pip a fortune and the chance to become a gentleman in London, he must reckon with what wealth, love, and true worth really mean. Rich with Dickens's unforgettable characters — the convict Magwitch, the jilted Miss Havisham, the loyal blacksmith Joe — Great Expectations is at once a gripping mystery, a searing critique of Victorian class ambition, and one of literature's great stories of moral awakening.
