Great Expectations

Charles Dickens is an unrivaled master who gave the world unforgettable novels of the “golden age of English literature” – “Great Expectations”, “The Life of David Copperfield”, “The Adventures of Oliver Twist”, “The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club” and many others.

A novel that has endured an incredible number of film and stage adaptations and formed the basis for a cult modern version starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert De Niro.
The story of Pip, a boy from a simple peasant family who unexpectedly received the opportunity to “get ahead” and enter the best London society, and Estella, whom her guardian, a half-mad aristocrat, made an instrument of her revenge, raising her to be a fatal beauty who breaks men's hearts, captivates the reader from the very first pages, but the colorful and bright pictures of Victorian London that frame it are not inferior to it in either wit or charm.
