书籍简介

皮普对生活没有太多期望……他的妹妹明确表示，她那成了孤儿的弟弟对她来说只是一个负担。但突然之间，事情开始发生变化。皮普狭隘的生活被打破了，他发现了一个逃犯，被召唤去拜访一个神秘的老妇人，并遇到了冰冷的美人艾丝黛拉。最令人吃惊的是，一个匿名的人给了他钱，让他在伦敦开始新的生活。这些事件真的像看起来那样是随机发生的吗?还是皮普的命运取决于一系列他意想不到的巧合?

Pip doesn't expect much from life...His sister makes it clear that her orphaned little brother is nothing but a burden on her. But suddenly things begin to change. Pip's narrow existence is blown apart when he finds an escaped criminal, is summoned to visit a mysterious old woman and meets the icy beauty Estella. Most astoundingly of all, an anonymous person gives him money to begin a new life in London. Are these events as random as they seem? Or does Pip's fate hang on a series of coincidences he could never have expected?

作者简介

查尔斯·狄更斯生于1812年2月7日。1837年，他创办了《雾都孤儿》，随后是尼古拉斯·尼克比(1838年)和老古玩店(1840-41年)。《圣诞颂歌》出现于1843年，《大卫·科波菲尔》出现于1850年。在后来的作品中，如《荒凉山庄》(1853)和《小多莉特》(1857)，狄更斯的社会批评更加激进，他的喜剧更加野蛮。他于1854年出版了《艰难岁月》，1859年出版了《双城记》，1860年出版了《远大前程》。他的最后一部小说《埃德温·德鲁德之谜》从未完成，他于1870年6月9日去世。大卫·特罗特(David Trotter)是昆恩大学英语语言文学教授和伦敦大学学院系主任。夏洛特·米切尔是伦敦大学学院的英语讲师。

Charles Dickens was born on 7 February 1812. He began Oliver Twist in 1837, followed by Nicholas Nickleby (1838) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41). A Christmas Carol, appeared in 1843, David Copperfield in 1850. In later works, such as Bleak House (1853) and Little Dorrit (1857), Dickens's social criticism became more radical and his comedy more savage. He published Hard Times in 1854, A Tale of Two Cities in 1859 and Great Expectations in 1860. His last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, was never completed and he died on 9 June 1870.
