Charles Dickens is one of the most famous English novelists, a masterful storyteller and publicist, whose work marks an entire era in the development of world literature. According to Leo Tolstoy, "his books, imbued with a truly Christian spirit, have brought and will continue to bring great good to humanity." Great Expectations, Dickens's masterpiece, tells the story of young Philip Pirrip, nicknamed Pip. Pip's dreams of a career, love, and prosperity in the "gentleman's world" are dashed in an instant when he discovers the terrible secret of his unknown patron, who is being pursued by the police. Where will his great hopes lead him? Nellie Trent from The Old Curiosity Shop is the embodiment of kindness, gentleness, and selflessness. Perhaps none of Dickens's characters has evoked such warm sympathy in readers as she did. Little Nell and her grandfather, the owner of an old antique shop, are forced to experience all the injustice and cruelty of the world firsthand. This story, simultaneously magical and realistic, sentimental and tragic, will forever remain one of the most beloved books in the world.
