Great Expectations (version 2) by Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870)Author: LibriVox
Great Expectations is written in the first person and is virtually a fictional autobiography of Pip from his childhood, through often painful experiences, to adulthood. It charts his progress as he moves from the Kent marshes - his social status radically changed having gained an unknown benefactor - to busy commercial London. The book is richly populated with a variety of extraordinary characters many of whom, unbeknownst to them, have lives that are inextricably linked to the others. It is all there, love, hate, passion, humour, rejection, duplicity, betrayal, a whole gamut of emotions and human strengths and weaknesses . This is one of Dickens most fascinating, and disturbing novels. (Summary by Peter Keeble) Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
