By: Charles DICKENS (1812 - 1870)
This classic tale tells of an orphan, Pip, who
through a series of strange circumstances first finds a trade as a
blacksmith's apprentice and then learns that he has "great expectations"
of a future inheritance from an anonymous benefactor. He soon learns to
live the profligate life of a gentleman as he gradually sheds his
associations with the gentle souls of his past, Joe (the blacksmith) and
Biddy (a level-headed young lady). He throws his money at improving the
prospects of his roommate and friend Herbert and his heart at an "ice
princess" whose heart will never respond. But then an escaped convict
from his distant past comes calling, and all Pip's hopes dissolve.
