Résumé

There could only ever be three reasons as to why you find yourself reading this text. 1: You finished and liked part 1 and want to continue the story.2: The hummus on your finger brought your here by accident or 3: You're one of those... special readers who, three chapters into part 1, just NEED to know how the story ends - right now!Regardless, you shan't be spoiled today.Pip, now 23, beset by ill fortune and spectres of the past, continues his quest to wrest the fair princess Estella from the evil sorceress Miss Havisham's clutches. Fortunately, Pip uses his first wish to have the Genie turn him into a prince to help his chances. If this sounds like a completely different story, it's basically not - especially if you add a cup of frock coats, a pinch of Victorian stiff upper lip and finally that 4th spice: Cumin of Age. Read it before you watch the Bruce Lee drama "An Orphan's Tragedy" or one of the eight other film adaptations.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English author, social critic, and philanthropist. Much of his writing first appeared in small instalments in magazines and was widely popular. Among his most famous novels are Oliver Twist (1839), David Copperfield (1850), and Great Expectations (1861).

Auteur

Charles Dickens (auteur)

Charles Dickens was an English novelist and social critic known for creating iconic fictional characters. He is considered one of the greatest Victorian-era novelists. His works, such as "A Christmas Carol," "Oliver Twist," and "Great Expectations," are frequently adapted and evoke images of early Victorian London. Dickens drew inspiration from his own experiences, including his father's imprisonment for debt. He began his career as a journalist and writer in his early twenties, and his unique style and humor quickly gained him fame. Dickens was also known for his philanthropy and advocacy for social issues. He made a trip to the United States and Canada in 1842 and expressed his condemnation of slavery. Dickens's novels often depicted the struggles of the poor and disadvantaged, challenging societal norms and advocating for change. Despite some criticism of his sentimentality, Dickens's popularity remained strong, and he is regarded as one of the greatest British novelists. He left a lasting legacy, with museums and festivals dedicated to his life and works.
