On Christmas Eve, young Pip, an orphan being raised by his sister and her husband, encounters a convict in the village churchyard. The man, a convict who has escaped from a prison ship, scares Pip into stealing him some food and a file to grind away his leg shackle. On Christmas Eve, young Pip, an orphan being raised by his sister and her husband, encounters a convict in the village churchyard. The man, a convict who has escaped from a prison ship, scares Pip into stealing him some food and a file to grind away his leg shackle. This incident is crucial: firstly, it gives Pip, who must steal the goods from his sister's house, his first taste of true guilt, and, secondly, Pip's kindness warms the convict's heart. The convict, however, waits many years to truly show his gratitude. At his sister's house, Pip is a boy without expectations. Mrs. Joe beats him around and has nothing good to say about her little brother. Her husband Joe is a kind man, although he is a blacksmith without much ambition, and it's assumed that Pip will follow in his footsteps. Only when Pip gets invited unexpectedly to the house of a rich old woman in the village named Miss Havisham, does Mrs. Joe, or any of her dull acquaintances, hold out any hope for Pip's success. The classic novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a compelling narrative that explores the life of an orphan named Pip. This bestselling book is a masterful blend of fiction and reality, making it a top choice among readers. For fans of George Eliot (Middlemarch), Jane Austen (Mansfield Park), Victor Hugo (Notre-Dame de Paris), Fjodor M. Dostojewskij (THE COMPLETE WORKS OF FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY), and Emily Brontë (Wuthering Heights).
