Description
When seven-year-old orphan Pip meets Estella, the adopted daughter of the wealthy spinster Miss Havisham, he falls in love with her despite her cold and contemptuous ways. Pip is determined to escape poverty and become a gentleman to win Estella’s affections. Miss Havisham, however, arranges for him to become merely a common labourer in his brother-in-law’s business, disappointing Pip greatly. But the arrival of a lawyer from London gives Pip hope when he learns that he has a secret, wealthy benefactor. Pip travels to London to begin his education as a gentleman, still hoping to endear himself to Estella. Then, one day, a boyhood kind deed returns, altering the course of Pip’s life when he learns the identity of his benefactor…Great Expectations is one of Charles Dickens’s finest and most well received novels – a coming-of-age story about social ambition, love, crime and the disappointment of expectations.

I have 3 classic novels by Wordsworth Classics. Paperback quality is good but the font size could be better.

This is an amazing book written by Charles Dickens. You will be mentally taken through a journey of the protagonist and will also get to know the conditions of that day society. The book was extremely interesting. The book cover and the package was also too good.

This book has been a very nice one for someone like me who reads self-help or spiritual books only. I would like to read more from the same author. I loved reading this one.
