About This Novel
"Great Expectations (Illustrated Collector's Edition)" is a mature work of Dickens's late period, with 26 illustrations by Harry Furniss, an important artist of the British century-old humorous illustrated magazine "Clumsy". The novel tells the story of the growth of an orphan, Pip. He grew up in his sister's blacksmith shop. By chance, he came into contact with the noble Havisham, fell in love with her adopted daughter Estella, and developed a yearning for the upper class society. A few years later, his dream came true. A mysterious man entrusted a lawyer to arrange for him to go to London to receive a higher education and inherit a large inheritance when he became an adult. Various coincidences made him think that he was selected by Havisham and would have a great future from now on. However, fate took another turn: the true identity of the mysterious man surfaced, and the so-called "Great Expectations" was just a dream of Pip...
