cbl_tn: Mister Pip explores the reading and interpretation of Great Expectations in a late 20th century South Sea island culture in the midst of a civil war.
Bcteagirl: Thursday Next is a Literary Detective who helps to keep people from changing plots in books, keep book characters from escaping etc. When she goes in for training, who should she be apprenticed to but Miss Havisham who is more than happy to get out of her dreary rooms once and a while. What larks!… (altro)
Bcteagirl: If you enjoyed the 'good hard working pastoral theme' of his uncle and their 'Larks' you may enjoy Adam Bede which has many of the same themes.
lucyknows: Great Expectations and Bonfire of the Vanities can be successfully tied together in that both the authors explore the themes of ostentation, ambition and morality
JuliaMaria: In der Einleitung zu "an unofficial rose" von Anthony D. Nuttall wird Dickens als Vergleich herangezogen: "An Unofficial Rose is indeed a surprisingly Dickensian novel, crowded, superabundant."
Incipit: "Poiché il cognome di mio padre era Pirrip, e il mio nome di battesimo Philip, la mia lingua infantile non riuscì mai a ricavare dai due nomi nulla di più lungo e di più esplicito di Pip. Così presi a chiamarmi Pip, e Pip finii per essere chiamato. Che Pirrip sia il cognome di mio padre, lo affermo in base alla sua lapide funeraria e a mia sorella - Mrs. Joe Gargery, che sposò il fabbro. Siccome non vidi mai né mio padre né mia madre e neppure un loro ritratto (essi vissero infatti molto prima dei tempi della fotografia), le mie prime fantasie sul loro aspetto derivarono irragionevolmente dalle loro lapidi. La forma delle lettere su quella di mio padre mi suggerì la bizzarra idea che egli fosse un uomo tarchiato, robusto, con i capelli neri e ricci. Dai caratteri e dalla disposizione dell'iscrizione : "Anche Georgiana, moglie del suddetto", trassi l'infantile conclusone che mia madre fosse lentigginosa e malaticcia".
Un libro classico, romanzo di formazione. Uno di quei libri che hanno il potere di portarti in un altro mondo e in un altra epoca, a vivere avventure insieme a personaggi lontani, ma affascinanti. Il piacere di lasciarsi coinvolgere nella storia, dimenticando il presente, come quando si leggeva da ragazzi e si sognava il proprio futuro. ( )
The idea of an innocent boy establishing unconsciously an immense influence over the mind of a hunted felon … haunted Dickens’s imagination until he gathered round it a whole new world of characters and incidents

My father's family name being Pirrip, and my christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.

Neither were my notions of the theological positions to which my Catechism bound me, at all accurate; for, I have a lively remembrance that I supposed my declaration that I was to "walk in the same all the days of my life," laid me under an obligation always to go through the village from our house in one particular direction, and never to vary it by turning down by the wheelwright's or up by the mill.
...a money-box was kept on the kitchen mantel-shelf, in to which it was publicly made known that all my earnings were dropped. I have an impression that they were to be contributed eventually towards the liquidation of the National Debt, but I know I had no hope of any personal participation in the treasure.
Mr. Wopsle's great-aunt kept an evening school in the village; that is to say, she was a ridiculous old woman of limited means and unlimited infirmity, who used to go to sleep from six to seven every evening, in the society of youth who paid two pence per week each, for the improving opportunity of seeing her do it.
I had little objection to his being seen by Herbert or his father, for both of whom I had a respect; but I had the sharpest sensitiveness as to his being seen by Drummle, whom I held in contempt. So, throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise. (Chapter XXVII)
"Oh! I have a heart to be stabbed in or shot in, I have no doubt," said Estella, "and of course if it ceased to beat I should cease to be. But you know what I mean. I have no softness there, no--sympathy--sentiment--nonsense."
And still I stood looking at the house, thinking how happy I should be if I lived there with her, and knowing that I never was happy with her, but always miserable.
After that, he drank all the rest of the sherry, and Mr. Hubble drank the port, and the two talked (which I have since observed to be customary in such cases) as if they were of quite another race from the deceased, and were notoriously immortal.
If you can’t get to be oncommon through going straight, you’ll never get to do it through going crooked.
Mrs. Joe was a very clean housekeeper, but had an exquisite art of making her cleanliness more uncomfortable and unacceptable than dirt itself. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and some people do the same by their religion. (Chapter IV)
All other swindlers upon earth are nothing to the self-swindlers, and with such pretenses did I cheat myself. Surely a curious thing. That I should innocently take a bad hal-crown of somebody else's manufacture is reasonable enough, but that I should knowingly reckon of my own make as good money! (Chapter XXVIII)

I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.

Philip Pirrip, per tutti Pip, è un ragazzino di umili origini cui la sorte assegna una misteriosa fortuna: un ignoto benefattore gli paga gli studi e gli consente non solo di uscire dall’ambiente misero in cui è cresciuto, ma anche di aspirare alla mano della bellissima e cinica Estella. Al disvelarsi dell’identità del filantropo, però, le “grandi speranze” di Pip sembrano infrangersi. Romanzo pieno di avventure e colpi di scena, Grandi speranze (1861) è anche un finissimo studio psicologico sullo sviluppo di una personalità, quella di Pip, che, attraverso sofferenze, disillusioni, sensi di colpa e violenze, giunge a conquistare una consapevole maturità.
