Annotation
Presents a graphic adaptation of the classic novel in which a
mysterious benefactor enables Pip, a young orphaned boy, to rise in
Victorian society, being educated as a gentleman, while snobbishly
neglecting his childhood friends.
Summary
This is the story of an English orphan named Pip who rises to
wealth, deserts his true friends, and becomes humbled by his own
arrogance. It also introduces one of the more colorful characters
in literature: Miss Havisham. Dickens set Great Expectations during
the time that England was becoming a wealthy world power. Machines
were making factories more productive, yet people lived in awful
conditions.
