It is Dickens's second novel  after David Copperfield  to be fully narrated in the first person. The novel was first published as a serial in Dickens's weekly periodical All the Year Round  from 1 December 1860 to August 1861. In October 1861  Chapman and Hall published the novel in three volumes. The novel is set in Kent and London in the early to mid-19th century and contains some of Dickens's most memorable scenes  including the opening in a graveyard  where the young Pip is accosted by the escaped convict  Abel Magwitch. Great Expectations is full of extreme imagery-poverty  prison ships and chains  and fights to the death-and has a colourful cast of characters who have entered popular culture. These include the eccentric Miss Havisham  the beautiful but cold Estella  and Joe  the unsophisticated and kind blacksmith. Dickens's themes include wealth and poverty  love and rejection  and the eventual triumph of good over evil. Great Expectations  which is popular both with readers and literary critics  has been translated into many languages and adapted numerous times into various media.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52798780768536,"sku":"9798890967299","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52798780801304,"sku":"9798890967398","price":70.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/9798890967299.jpg?v=1790924384","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/great-expectations-dickens","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
