- 1. Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens that was first published in 1861 and remains one of his most celebrated works. The story follows the life of an orphan named Pip, who grows up in the marshes of Kent and dreams of becoming a gentleman. Pip's life changes when he is introduced to the reclusive and eccentric Miss Havisham, who raises her beautiful but proud ward, Estella. As Pip navigates the complexities of love, social class, and personal ambition, he becomes enamored with Estella, whose heart has been hardened by Miss Havisham's manipulations. Throughout the novel, Pip receives a mysterious fortune from an unknown benefactor, which he believes comes from Miss Havisham, leading him to London to pursue his dreams.
