Great Expectations

Great Expectations is one of Charles Dickens's best-known works, following the life and personal growth of an orphan boy named Pip. Set in nineteenth-century England, the story traces Pip's journey from humble beginnings in the countryside to the bustling society of London, exploring how fortune, affection, and ambition shape his life.

Along the way, Pip encounters memorable figures such as the runaway convict Abel Magwitch, the reclusive Miss Havisham, the cold-hearted Estella, and the kind blacksmith Joe Gargery.
