Чарльз Диккенс — всемирно известный английский писатель, создатель множества живых образов. Роман «Большие ожидания» продолжает тему становления молодого человека. Диккенс рассказывает историю Пипа, мальчика-сироты из бедной семьи, которому выпадает шанс стать «настоящим джентльменом», историю о том, как случайная встреча может изменить всю жизнь. Диккенс часто объявлял стремление выбиться в «приличное» общество проклятьем страны, делающим людей рабами бездушной системы. Но возможность простого счастья и простых радостей существует, как существуют в романе герои, олицетворяющие собой доброту и достоинство.

There the orphan Pip is disturbed to meet an escaped convict, Magwitch, but gives him food, in an encounter that is to haunt both their lives.
