作者简介：
Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England,where his father was a naval pay clerk. He received some education at a small private school but this was curtailed when his father's fortunes declined. More significant was his childhood reading, which he evoked in a memory of his father's library: 'From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, The Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Blas and Robinson Crusoe came out, a glorious host, to keep me company. They kept alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time.'
内容简介
An absorbing mystery as well as a morality tale, the story of Pip, a poor village lad, and his expectations of wealth is Dickens at his most deliciously readable. The cast of characters includes kindly Joe Gargery, the loyal convict Abel Magwitch and the haunting Miss Havisham. If you have heartstrings, count on them being tugged. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
A frustrated actor, Dickens himself entertained thousands in England and America with readings from his own books. But would his reading of GREAT EXPECTATIONS be better than this one? I seems likely. Angela Cheyne's 1977 performance unfortunately suffers from the poor recording equipment used at the time, which distorts at higher volumes and captures limited dynamic range. Even without these distractions, it is jarring to hear the young gentleman, Pip, portrayed through the distinctly feminine voice of Cheyne. In addition, Cheyne chooses not to give distinctive voices to the menagerie of Dickensian grotesques, which takes away much of the fun of the performance. P.W.
