Dickens was really genius in showing how suppression and poverty have such a crushing effect on the spirit and how the true reality of happiness lies nowhere near material gains but in goodness, forgiveness and love. I read this as a kid, an abridged version of around pages, how is it like reading the unabridged version?
Les Grandes Esprances by Dickens, Charles
Is it a quick, well-paced read? Nichelle I haven't read the abridged version so I can't say what all you're missing out on by just reading that but, I assume you're probably missing out on a …more I haven't read the abridged version so I can't say what all you're missing out on by just reading that but, I assume you're probably missing out on a lot. The original is very long but, to me, it's completely worth it. That's just my opinion. But it's hard for me to imagine that anyone could successfully summarize the pages of brilliance into a quarter the length. The overall plot is very complex and drawn out over a long period of time.
It took me a couple of months to read the book but that helped me understand how much time was passing in the book. The length of the book adds to the development of the characters. I read this book when I was about 15 and even though I live in a completely different world from Pip's character, it was one of the first times that I really related to a character and felt as though I knew him or as though I could have been him. That might sound weird but what I really mean is that there is a lot of worth in this book and I would definitely recommend reading the original. Lists with This Book.
This book is not yet featured on Listopia. A young, amiable boy Philip Pirrip with the unlikely nickname of Pip, lives with his older, by twenty years, brutal, no motherly love, that's for sure unbalanced married sister, Georgiana, his only relative which is very unfortunate, strangely the only friend he has is Joe, his brother-in -law.
She, the sister, beats him regularly for no apparent reason, so the boy understandably likes to roam the neighborhood for relief, thinking about pleasant things, the dreams of escape One night while visiting the graves of his parents, a desperate, fugitive convict finds him, and threatens the boy in the dark, disquieting, neglected churchyard cemetery, the quite terrified juvenile fears death , the man , a monster in his eyes Pip provides the criminal with food, stealing from his sister but always with the threat of discovery and vicious punishment, the whipping, he knows will follow.
Later this has surprising consequences in the future when Pip becomes older, if not wiser. An unexpected invite from the eccentric, man -hating Miss Havisham the riches person in the area, who is nuttier than a Fruitcake changes Pip prospects for the better. How weird is Miss Havisham? This recluse still wears her wedding dress, that is literally falling apart, repairs can only do so much decades after being jilted at the altar, she can never forget the unworthy, treacherous fiance who took advantage of the naive woman, for financial gain and move on Mysterious money given to the lad arrives, from who knows where but Pip is happy and doesn't ask too many questions , would you in his bad situation?
So he goes to London to become a gentleman, the poor boy now can have a real life, is happy for the first time and even better has a chance, maybe, a hope, to be honest a miracle would have to occur to win the affection of Estella, the beautiful, intelligent, however somewhat arrogant girl Miss Havisham foster daughter.
Unusual ending keeps this always interesting, as we the reader follow lonely Pip , in his almost fruitless struggle for success, yet this famous classic has one of the most original characters ever imagined in literature. A "person" that cannot be forgotten. View all 12 comments. A Tale of Two Cities will forever occupy a special place in my heart because even though adulthood sensibilities often cause childhood adoration to vanish in entirety, no one forgets a precocious reading of that first classic which reduces one to a sobbing, sniffling mess.
But my memories of a first reading of this are hazy at best - the absence of guillotines lopping off heads and swoon-worthy heroes who make larger than life sacrifices could explain my much younger self's lack of appreciation. And it is only on a second reading after a gap of a decade and more can I categorize this as a novel written for adults, as a work much more worthy of 5 stars than "A Tale of Two Cities" should ever be.
Predictably this rehashes many of Dickens' pet favorite themes - the orphaned, abused kid finding his way through the rat-infested, grimy bylanes of crime and penury towards self actualization, fairy godmother-stand-ins and so on - but never does it distill its thematic essence into easy dichotomies of good and evil. With all the appearance of a bildungsroman, "Great Expectations" , sets out to demolish many cliched plot devices of Dickens' own creation.
Pip never achieves the greatness he aspires to or even the fantasy love which planted the desire for upward social mobility in his mind, and yet his experiences enable him to become a more well-rounded individual who sees the world no longer through the rose-tinted shades of juvenile romanticism but with a maturer outlook. All the truth of my position came flashing on me; and its disappointments, dangers, disgraces, consequences of all kinds, rushed in in such a multitude that I was borne down by them and had to struggle for every breath I drew.
And, of course, this features a character not found elsewhere in the wide repertoire of Victorian novels - a woman who practices misandry with varying degrees of success. Perhaps to Dickens, Miss Havisham would have been merely a plot contrivance inserted to thwart our hero's romantic success and create an atmosphere of Gothic spookiness slightly palpable in many of Dickens' fairytale-ish coming-of-age tales. But when seen through the lenses of 21st century wisdom, she encapsulates a more realistic kind of horror - a woman, whose entire life and worth are predicated on the success of her getting hitched in a patriarchal society, jilted at the altar.
Not a mad woman condemned to incarceration in the attic by a tyrannical figure of patriarchal authority but a woman who chooses to sequester herself from the world of men of her own free will. Miss Havisham is bested in the end, by her own feelings of contrition for the harm she inflicted on a young, impressionable mind, but second wave feminism will point fingers at the real culprit and exonerate her.
Her chest had dropped, so that she stooped; and her voice had dropped, so that she spoke low, and with a dead lull upon her; altogether, she had the appearance of having dropped body and soul, within and without, under the weight of a crushing blow. Pip maybe one of the most unheroic of Dickens' heroes, but he is also a proper representative of a man torn between two contradictory ideals of value judgment, forever plagued by an identity crisis so acute that he appears in my eyes as one of his most fully realized, flawed characters.
So undeserving of respect or even sympathy. Further, I don't remember Dickens being as funny and wryly witty elsewhere aside from The Pickwick Papers. Either that or I seriously need to refresh memories. The only reason I felt this does not merit the five stars is because of that rather random ending, a last ditch attempt at adding roses and rainbows to a palette majorly mottled with splotches of grey.
The five star rating would have been an inevitability had this penultimate Dickens novel been the wholesome tragedy it showed every possibility of becoming in the last stretch. The ground belongs to me. It is the only possession I have not relinquished. Everything else has gone from me, little by little, but I have kept this.
It was the subject of the only determined resistance I made in all the wretched years. All plot points considered, it is a tragedy. Very nearly so but not quite. View all 51 comments. Great Expectations, Charles Dickens' first person narration centers on the formation and social development of the inimical English character Pip. Set in and around London in the early s, Dickens uses vivid imagery and his usual genius at characterization to build a story that has become one of English languages greatest and most recognized stories. Perhaps the most intriguing is the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch, a complex man who Dickens brings to understandable life.
Another classic portrayal is that of the jurist Mr. Jaggers, a lawyer who no doubt has become the template for a long list of legal caricatures since. Typical Dickensian themes such as wealth and poverty, isolation and salvation, and the struggles between good over evil come to life in this very entertaining story. View all 5 comments. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me. A classic for certain, and only my second Dickens to date. The most surprising thing I found? This is especially true in the first third, or so, in the story of Pip. But it may be the themes of this book that I remember most, and the growth of Pip.
What does it take to make one happy? Is it wealth, or is it love and friendship? Those are the few things I thought about most often here. Yeah, the writing is vintage. But, I found it mostly relatable, even a nice change of pac A classic for certain, and only my second Dickens to date.
Les Grandes Esprances
But, I found it mostly relatable, even a nice change of pace for me all truth be told — some parts were confounding. I back-tracked often, sometimes I simply moved on.
At story's end I was left these feelings: A little bit of joy, a little bit of heart-break, quite a bit of contentedness. Glad I finally read this one. View all 14 comments. Whew, it took me an incredibly long time to finish this book. Actually, this book kind of fell somewhere between 3 and 4 stars but I rounded it up because I liked it better than David Copperfield. While it's true that this book can be somewhat tiresome and contrived at parts, Dickens' dry humour, beautifully haunting descriptions and unforgettable characters made it a really fun read for me.
One approach that best be adopted in reading Great Expectations and Dickens' novels in general is not t Whew, it took me an incredibly long time to finish this book. One approach that best be adopted in reading Great Expectations and Dickens' novels in general is not to plunge and go looking for the plot. The plot will find you somewhere between the pages, but it sure takes its own sweet time doing it. Meanwhile, just sit back and enjoy the carefully unfolding narrative that is Pip's life.
Like David Copperfield , Great Expectations is a tale of self-discovery, a record of one's life from childhood to adulthood told in first person. However, this book has a more brooding tone and penetrating insight to its main character's motives and psychological state than its predecessor. As prompted by the title, the main story of this book is about Pip, an orphaned boy, who suddenly comes to a great fortune and is being made a gentleman.
He later finds, though, that his fortune and social status bring him more misery than joy.
Les grandes espérances by Charles Dickens
They don't improve his relationship with Estella and damage his friendship with his uncle Joe. Moreover, what he learns behind the mystery about his benefactor turns out to be not at all what he had expected. It's fascinating to see how Pip's elevated status and his love for Estella influence the decisions he makes and his personality, and not necessarily for the better. Somehow, at a certain stage of his narration, he becomes someone who is conceited and self-centered.
Though this might put Pip in a less sympathetic light, it also makes him more relatable and complex as a human being who has human's weaknesses and commits mistakes. I also loved how this book describes some of life's many ironies--of how we are sometimes not being honest with ourselves, how we sometimes try hard to impress people who don't care about us rather than treasure those who really do. Since there are two versions of ending in this book, people tend to compare one version to the other.
Either is fine for me, but if I really have to choose, I'll prefer the original ending to the revised one because it's more relevant to the message that this book is trying to impart, in my opinion.

It's been referenced and rehashed so many times that Miss Havisham can be visualised by most people and they all know her as a crazy old lady in a wedding dress who owns a big house. Everyone knows that Pip meets a convict out on the marshes also. But what of the latter part of the story? There is a spoiler in here that deserves to be up with "Luke I am Your Father". But either I am ignorant of that being common knowledge of popular culture has not read beyond page 80 of this book.

I thought I was cunning in choosing a version on audible that had an English rather than american narrator sorry I am biased. But I soon came to realise that this bias may not be serving me that well. The reader was so very Shakespearean and theatrical that he over-acted even the most mundane of passages. It soon got on my nerves. It wasn't a natural reading at all.
So I switched over to good old-fashioned paper. I found that with reading it I was reticent to pick up the book due to it's density. But once I had picked it up I was happy to read for hours. So it took me a couple of months to get through it, but I did enjoy it mostly. And I feel like it is an achievement.
I now know the whole story of Pip, rather than the tip of the iceberg. The things that annoyed me about the novel are the "Luke I am Your Father" connections. No spoilers but everything ends up being so tightly wound together that it is too good to be true. So many coincidences must have happened for the events to unfold like stated. But I guess that in the days it was written there was not a lot of other novels to compare it to. I guess things were simpler and our tastes have become more refined and our cynicism has crept in.
In my own unrefined and simplistic understanding I think Dickens was trying to get his audience to think about the influence of money on prestige and behaviour and the judgement of people due to this money. And also about being proud. It seems the source of money is more important than the money itself and the judgement upon the source is fickle and skewed.
I also took away the be true to yourself lesson, even if Dickens didn't mean in totally. Don't be an asshole. But I did enjoy finding out what happens to the little boy who plays out in the marshes and gave an escaped convict a pie. View all 18 comments. Aug 18, C. Anyone having trouble getting into Victorian literature.
I have a confession to make. It's shameful and disgraceful and I barely want to own up to it. But I just can't hide it no more! And worst of all, I based this assumption on I'd read not a single word of his prose. I don't think I'd even watched a TV adaptation of one of his books. I have no idea where I got it from, but its pernicious influence prevented me from even trying a Dickens novel until now, and even now I thought I'd had to force my way thr I have a confession to make.
I have no idea where I got it from, but its pernicious influence prevented me from even trying a Dickens novel until now, and even now I thought I'd had to force my way through it - fifty pages a day, until it was done. But, ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to announce that I have rarely been more wrong about anything. It is totally engrossing, perfectly encompassing, endlessly compassionate, beautifully constructed. So much empathy, so much drama! And such wonderful, rich characters. I loved Joe, with his infinitely endearing way of just talking, which revealed so much about him.
Biddy, oh so sweet and kind and selfless and intelligent. Mr Pumblechook, so contemptibly bombastic! And Pip, Pip, so hateful and irritating, but how can you blame the poor kid in the end? All right, you can blame that little sod, but you gotta love him. Just a little bit. Jun 29, K. When I was a lot younger, I tried reading several works by Charles Dickens but I was only able to finish one: David Copperfield 4 stars and then during my first December as a Goodreads member, I read and finished the whole The Christmas Books 4 stars that includes his, I think, most famous work, A Christmas Carol 4 stars.
With the many other books, especially those that are easier to read, competing for my attention, classics can always be put aside. However, the literary landsc When I was a lot younger, I tried reading several works by Charles Dickens but I was only able to finish one: However, the literary landscapes that we have would not have been the same, if they did not get written in the first place.
Dickens is considered as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period so English Lit would not have been the same if Dickens wasn't there. The American Lit would not have been the same if there was no English Lit. Now the Phil Lit would not have been the same if the Philippines was not colonized by the US in and part of the deal were for the Filipinos to learn English and of course that meant read their books including their literature. What I am trying to say is that it is that, for Filipinos, I think it is hard to read Dickens especially if it is outside the school curriculum.

Who here in a third-world country like the Philippines would spend a lot of time with a page book about a faraway country in a distant past? In , when this book Great Expectations was being serialized, the Philippines was under the Spanish rule and our forefathers haven't had their first novel yet.
The first novel written by a Filipino came out in Spain in and it was written in Spanish. Then it was translated to English in and finally to Filipino in The greatest Filipino turncoat, Pedro Paterno was the one who wrote it and its title was Ninay. I thought of sharing you this information complete with the links because what I am trying to say is that Dicken's works feel so distant and a bit irrelevant to probably many Filipinos or other races living in non-reading countries like the Philippines. But I enjoy reading Dickens.
Also, at least for the two books that I've read and enjoyed, those I did not know to be the two of the three longest of his works, are about young orphan boys, David and Pip who struggle in life, get rich or find fortune or "the great expectation" in Pip's case, become poor again, marry and then towards the end live, not really a happy-ever-after, but just a normal human beings.
I like long books whose main characters start as young kids and they grow up, grow old and then the story ends when they are about to die like David. Well, in Pip's case the ending is Estella's realization that Pip is important to her and the cold wall dividing them seems to have disappeared probably due to what Estella went through in life as well but at least it is a happy ending.
I've read from my brother's review that there is another ending and that is more realistic because Dickens could not make up his mind but I settle for this happy ending as Pip and Estella are indeed meant for each other. So many memorable characters with Miss Havisham in her wedding dress when she was still voluptuous and rounded topping off my list.
My personal favorite is Joe who is the personification of a good older friend of Pip who is always there for him. The ex-convict Magwitch, Pip's secret benefactor is also one unforgettable character. Those parts when he showed up again in the second half of the novel seemed a bit contrived like what are the chances but Dickens was able to pull it off by his beautiful prose and Dicken's ability of having his characters come and go and come again as the main protagonist progresses through his life. One unforgettable read this year. Even if Dickens belong to the distant past in a far away world from me, what the heck.

A master storyteller of the Victorian Age, someone imminently readable today as well unlike so many of those 'olden' authors , Dickens had a magical ability to scoop up every detail of his time's zeitgeist, and spit it back out in a series of thrilling class-based adventures, where no clear heroes or villains existed but rather all was a shade of sooty London gray.
When people say that "an entire world comes alive with a good book," it's Dickens' work they're talking about; and if Great Expectations can't get your brain conjuring fantastical ornate urban visions in overtime, I'm not sure what exactly will do the trick. This is my first Dickens novel and, to quote Dickens, " I dozed again; now, waking up uneasily, with prolix conversations about nothing, in my ears I found it rather dry at times but the heart of this story always enchants me.

Before starting this review, I have a confession. I didn't read this book for fun. It was my summer assignment for AP Language and Composition. I know, I know. But nonetheless, relentless of the reason why I picked it up, this book was beautiful.
If books could make you breathe words, Great Expectations would be one of them. Each word in this story had meaning, every line is said for a reason. As a first time Charles Dickens reader, I must say that I am truly impressed by how emotional I c Before starting this review, I have a confession. As a first time Charles Dickens reader, I must say that I am truly impressed by how emotional I could get over a 19th century book let's just say, by the end of the book, I was utterly sobbing.
This story has an incredibly huge amount of literary significance. Great Expectations is not like any other young adult book, where there's a cheesy romance or two, perhaps some dystopian or fantasy background, and the occasional chick-flick feel. This book makes you think , to wonder how aware of the world you truly are. Most of you recognize that I read all sorts of literature. So long as it's enjoyable, I'm willing to give it a good rating. I'm not trying to nitpick every book that comes into my possession.
In any other terms, I should have granted Great Expectations 5 stars. Why didn't I, when I just explained how great this book was? I'll address the negatives of this book first. Some parts dragged on, and on, and on. Many people have criticized Dickens' tendency to outshine each of his scenes as though his readers have a million years to devour his books. Another thing, that truly frustrated me, was the lack of interest in certain characters and what happens to them.
I understand that those kind of occasions are just supposed to be left to the imagination of the reader, but maybe some answers would be nice here and there. Despite this, Great Expectations was fascinating. Every character is so flawed and dramatically different in their own way that it makes them extremely interesting and recognizable.
The narrator, Pip, is such a well-rounded main character that I must say he is one of my all-time favorite protagonists. Despite his having a good heart, Pip is extremely naive, and makes a lot of mistakes that he must learn from as he gets older--which is what any human must go through. Each one of Pip's adventures was so wonderfully crafted and representative of his love for Estella that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because without Pip's wonderfully innocent ideals, in all honesty, there would be no book.
Great Expectations is not a love story. Many of my friends have assumed so, but this book is really just a life journey with some life lessons and satire thrown into the mix. Call it infatuation, perhaps, or just a young boy's desire to achieve his goals, but it is definitely not centered around love. In Great Expectations, Dickens is basically mocking social class structure and trying to show his readers that happiness and goodness are more important than riches and fame. There is so much about this beautiful novel that I simply cannot fit into one small review, but this is a classic for a reason, folks.
That means that there is a reason why so many people have read it So if you haven't read Great Expectations, you just need to do it. You'll come out of it thinking way differently than you did before. Even if you haven't read this or seen any of the many movie or tv adaptations, you would know something of the story. This is the one about Pip, an escaped convict, a beautiful but cruel girl called Estella, and the corpse-like Miss Havisham. It's about a little boy called Pip who was raised by his much older sister, Mrs Joe, and her husband, Joe, the village blacksmith.
Joe is a role model and father figure as well as Pip's best friend, while Mrs Joe is sharp-tongued and aggressive - between he Even if you haven't read this or seen any of the many movie or tv adaptations, you would know something of the story. Joe is a role model and father figure as well as Pip's best friend, while Mrs Joe is sharp-tongued and aggressive - between her and Joe's uncle, Mr Pumblechook, Pip is made to feel worthless and one step away from becoming the most ungrateful wretch on the face of the Earth.
A chance encounter as a boy of about 8 with a convict who has escaped from a Hulk an old un-seaworthy ship used as a prison while Britain dithered over where to send the convicts sees Pip do an act of kindness - mostly out of fear - and keep his first secret from Joe. The reclusive Miss Havisham - who was jilted at the altar at a quarter to nine and lives in suspended time, still wearing her decaying wedding dress, with one shoe on, the clocks all stopped and her mansion falling down around her - sends for Pip to be a playmate for her adopted daughter Estella, Pip is made to feel ashamed of his rough hands and coarse boots, his ignorance and weakness, by Estella's cruel remarks.
Despite her blatant cruelty, Pip falls in love with her and torments himself with wanting her. When, after about four years as an apprentice blacksmith, Pip learns from a London lawyer, Mr Jaggers, that he has a patron who will pay his way into society but who insists on keeping their identity secret, Pip is sure it must be Miss Havisham and that she plans to raise him up so he can have Estella. The truth about the matter is probably quite predictable - I guessed it, though I couldn't figure out the logistics of it - but I don't want to say anything just in case. What I can talk about instead is Dickens' prose, language, diction, style, whatever you want to call it, and the reluctance of people like me to read him.
This is the first Dickens book I've read. It is true that authors at the time were paid by the word, and it is quite true that Dickens is pretty wordy. Don't let that put you off though. He's no more wordy than a lot of other authors - George Eliot, for example, or Tolstoy or Thackeray. But every word is carefully chosen, and while a few times the diction was alien to me because the language is now disused, you can still get the meaning from the context. The story is in the details, though, so try to avoid the temptation of skimming long passages: Impressions are gained through clever structure, repetition and other stylistic devices - it's a "show", not "tell", kind of book.
It's interesting, while reading volume 1, to note that you have an older, wiser Pip narrating the story of a much younger, more naive Pip - at times our perception is coloured by the older Pip's derisiveness; you get the sense that he's shaking his head in bewilderment or rueful amusement. It's quite clever, what he reveals and what he keeps mum about in order for the story to maintain a level of suspense and excitement. You know he's stringing you along but he does such a good job of it, you can't hold it against him. One of the things this book really succeeds at is the positing of a younger Pip and an older Pip, presented at the same time, the same character and yet different, and showing how Pip changes over the years and why, until the two finally merge.

It takes talent to manipulate the dual Pips that way, and keep a handle on their emotional maturation. Miss Havisham is one of those larger-than-life characters who becomes famous in their own right: The frozen-in-time, decaying mansion - the room with the rotting wedding cake on the table, everything covered in cobwebs and bugs, with mice crawling in the walls. It's incredibly vivid and grotesque, and it's these highly exaggerated scenes and characters that make Dickens such a memorable writer.
I suppose the moral of the story centres around Pip and how, when he comes into money and a better position in society, he becomes snobbish and unlikeable, looking down on Joe and his childhood friend, Biddy, and becoming class conscious in the worst way. He puts social position and class, etiquette and learning, gentility and leisure, above his friends - such misplaced value, and an inability to appreciate what's really worth appreciating, are fairly common themes but are dealt with with surprising subtlety here - I think because Pip is narrating, and he doesn't really come out and say "I was selfish and unthinking and thought myself better than the man who raised me, but I repent.
And, naturally, he learns from his mistakes. View all 9 comments. Carry on at your own Risk! I liked how the book began with Pip's little adventure.

I liked the humor in the starting chapters and how awful his life seemed. When the great expectations came along and when he thought he'd be taught and made a gentleman for Estella, Pip became kind of an ass.
