Great Expectations

Omtale

Charles Dickens s masterpiece about love and social circumstance, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. Pip is a poor orphan, a boy with no expectations being raised by his unkind sister and her husband in a small home on the marshes of Kent. But when Pip meets the bizarre Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward, Estella, he starts to yearn for a life as a gentleman. However, Pip will discover that wealth and honesty do not go hand in hand, and that kindness can be found in the most surprising places. A love story, a mystery, and a sharp critique of upper-class English society, Great Expectations remains one of Dickens s best-regarded works.
