About this book
The story told in Great Expectations is a variatio on one of literature's themes: that of a naive, untutored boy from the countryside who comes to the great city of make his fortune and to learn about life. The work's extraordinary appeal is largely due to the brillian twists Dickens give to this failiar plot device, especially in gradually revealing the role and identity of the mysterious benefactor who offers the orphaned Pip the opporunity to be broguht up as a young fellow of great expetations.
