The great American publisher and Academy Award receiving screenwriter John Irving phone calls Great Expectations, "the book that made me want to be a novelist-specifically, to go a reader when i was moved". This story's orphaned hero, Pip, who goes through change and development, progressing from thoughtless selfishness to humble industry and generosity, is one of Dickens's best-loved people. "It is a most unpleasant thing to feel ashamed of home," finding himself apprenticed to his blacksmith brother-in-law and "dusty with the dust of small coal." An anonymous benefactor elevates the son to what seems a higher station - supplying him the possibility to shun kind friends and put on personal debt, but also to feel the pleasure to be a benefactor himself and finally to learn humility and repentance.
