Charles Dickens (1812-70) was a political reporter and journalist whose popularity was established by the phenomenally successful Pickwick Papers (1836-7). His novels captured and held the public imagination over a period of more than thirty years. David Trotter is Quain Professor of English Language and Literature and Head of Department at University College London. Charlotte Mitchell is Lecturer in English at University College London.
A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - these form a series of events that change the orphaned Pip's life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman. Dickens' haunting late novel depicts Pip's education and development through adversity as he discovers thetrue nature of his 'great expectations'.

終於把狄更斯老爺子這本書讀完瞭。讀的過程很艱難,尤其在網上看過一句話說,如果你覺得讀不下去的書,就扔掉,換彆的書讀。我也一度想放棄,但我總覺得這樣對不起狄更斯老爺子,我也想知道過程有時晦澀一些,那結局究竟會哪樣?我也不確定自己是否真的能讀下去,我有個不太好...
評分讀這本書,於主綫之外,關注到其中旁逸的一些情節。有一種領悟,原來,現代社會之於人的深刻影響長久以來便存在。 譬如,賈格斯律師事務所裏的辦事員威米剋,這個人物給我留下的更深刻印象不是他的精明乾練,而是他把在小不列顛街的工作和在瓦爾沃思城堡的生活截然分開...
評分最後一章,皮普和艾斯黛拉重逢在廢墟般的莊園裏。 她老瞭很多,但是依然很美。 “我想我們可以做好朋友是吧?” 於是兩個人牽著手走嚮落日餘暉。 據說狄更斯本來給這本書寫瞭兩個結局,另一個結局是皮普知道自己再也得不到艾斯黛拉的心瞭,艾斯黛拉嫁給瞭一個醫生,頗有老大嫁...
評分Great Expectations。不知為何,比起A Tale of Two Cities,喜歡這本書尤甚。而比起《孤星血淚》這樣悲愴的名字,反而也更喜歡《遠大前程》的意味深長。網上有好事者歸納討論瞭該詞組的意思,expectation,是期望、是預想、也是前路漫漫;great,是光榮,是憧憬,是聲勢浩大,...
