Pope John Paul II described Dickens' books as filled with love for the poor and a sense of social regeneration . . . warm with imagination and humanity. Such true charity permeates Dickens' novels and ultimately drives the characters either to choose regeneration or risk disintegration. In Great Expectations, Pip--symbolic of the pilgrim convert--gains both improved fortunes and a growth in wisdom, but as he acquires the latter, he must relinquish the former--ending with a wealth of profound goodness, not of worldly goods. That the Dickensian message was a Christian one is unmistakable. Reminiscent of an Augustinian model, one of reflection, conversion, and moral improvement, Pip undergoes an internal change that manifests itself in his profound contrition for his earlier deeds and his equally profound resolution to make amends. As we travel with Pip, we find that Dickens leads us to an acceptance of worldly limitations and an anticipation of final salvation. The exciting new edition of Dickens's classic novel includes critical essays by some of today's leading Dickens scholars. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

"Great Expectations" is about a boy named Pip while growing up in England and becoming a gentleman during the 19th century.
Here is the basic storyline of GE: Pip figures out at a young age that he has a sister that he never knew about. Later on, he starts becoming a gentleman and meets a convict in a graveyard, who influences Pip. The next day he becomes a blacksmith's apprentice and finds love. In the end, he gets married, and finally gets to see his sister.
Growing up for Pip was terrible and painful, but he makes it through to a wonderful life. With a great storyline and some humor, its a good reader for the summer.
Review by: Anonymous
Pip's sister already died before he came back to his hometown after failing to become a gentleman.
Good book. It might be a little bit challenging due to the vocabulary in the book ( )
