Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions) |
In this unflaggingly suspenseful story of aspirations and moral redemption, humble, orphaned Pip, a ward of his short-tempered older sister and her husband, Joe, is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman. And, indeed, it seems as though that dream is destined to come to pass — because one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." In telling Pip's story, Dickens traces a boy's path from a hardscrabble rural life to the teeming streets of 19th-century London, unfolding a gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, and love and loss. Its compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride.
Written in the last decade of Dickens' life, Great Expectations was praised widely and universally admired. It was his last great novel, and many critics believe it to be his finest. Readers and critics alike praised it for its masterful plot, which rises above the melodrama of some of his earlier works, and for its three-dimensional, psychologically realistic characters — characters much deeper and more interesting than the one-note caricatures of earlier novels. "In none of his other works," wrote the reviewer in the 1861 Atlantic, "does he evince a shrewder insight into real life, and a cheaper perception and knowledge of what is called the world." To Swinburne, the novel was unparalleled in all of English fiction, with defects "as nearly imperceptible as spots on the sun or shadows on a sunlit sea." Shaw found it Dickens' "most completely perfect book." Now this inexpensive edition invites modern readers to savor this timeless masterpiece, teeming with colorful characters, unexpected plot twists, and Dickens' vivid rendering of the vast tapestry of mid-Victorian England.
网友对Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions)的评论
内容文字排版看起来很舒服,因为有的书字是密密麻麻,看起来有点眩晕感,但这本却不会,看起来和清爽的感觉
第一次读远大前程是因为朋友送了我这本的原版书给我,整本书看下来会发现,狄更斯的语言很平实,没有华丽的词藻但是却给了大家一个很好的故事。大家有时间都可以读一读!
书很轻便,字也不小,前面还有专门的introduction,封面和书页手感很好。
16号到得书,当晚读了十几页,总体感觉不错,封面.印刷和包装都挺好的,只是阅读过程中发现有个别的单词拼写有误。这个版本的书我也读了不少了,都是在书店里买的,还没有出现过这种情况。这是我第一次从网上订购原版书籍。很奇怪,怎么会有这样的问题,难道不是正版的吗?
书很好 比较精致 尤其是纸质 细滑而且很厚
内容很精彩。关键有非常棒的英语。大师的语言把握能力真是一级的。
本来预计11月11日到达的,显示提前到9号,然后今天7号就送达。快递竟然还说5号就到了,周末没送。——总之,快递很是满意。
书嘛,还是一如既往的好!
五星!!
如泣如诉的传奇际遇,但捧在手心布面烫印的水晶吊灯图案会剥落成粉状,更适宜搁在书桌拜读
质量不错,没有破损,看起来就是正版
除了封面不一样以外,因为有许多俚语,看不懂又查不到
