Overview
Featuring beautiful cover art from artist Laci Fowler, this fine collector's edition of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations is a must-have for book lovers and literature fans. One of English literature's classic masterpieces—a harrowing novel that addresses issue of social class, human worth, and the importance of self-awareness.
Considered by many to be Charles Dickens's finest novel, Great Expectations follows the narrator, the orphan Philip Pirrip (Pip), as he leaves behind a childhood of misery and poverty after an anonymous benefactor offers him a chance at the life of a gentleman.
From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens's most memorable cast that has entered popular culture: the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the capricious Miss Havisham, the cold and beautiful Estella, the kind and generous blacksmith Joe, the sycophantic Uncle Pumblechook, Mr. Jaggers, Wemmick with his dual personality, and the wise friend, Herbert Pocket.
Whether you're buying this as a gift or for yourself, this remarkable edition features: a beautiful high-end hardcover featuring Laci Fowler's distinctive hand-painted art, perfect for standing out on any discerning fiction lover's bookshelf; embossed cover art and gold foiling; decorative interior pages featuring pull quotes distributed throughout; a matching ribbon marker; and gold page edges.
