About this listen

In this, perhaps Dickens' most profound and personal novel, we are invited to share in the sentimental education of Pip, the poor boy from the village forge who risks losing himself in snobbery and selfishness when he mysteriously inherits a fortune. The story moves from the bleak Kentish marshes of Pip's childhood to a thrilling climax that mingles tragedy and triumph.

Critic Reviews

"We take great joy in recording our conviction that Great Expectations is a masterpiece." (The Atlantic Monthly)

Anton Lesser's reading of this novel is outstanding. He is gifted with a voice of great range, able to convincingly speak as male or female characters, young or old, different accents, always sustained. In addition, he never slips when moving between the narrator's voice to that of characters' speaking. His pacing and intonation is perfect.

Utterly superb reading of this wonderful novel
