Great expectations

The novel was filmed and set in the theaters many times. One of the most famous version is modern film starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert De Niro.
This is a story of two people. Pip was a simple boy born in a poor, peasant family, but got a chance to become a gentleman and join the London high society. Estella was a weapon of vengeance in arms of her mad aristocrat guardian, who made Estella a femme fatale breaking the hearts. The story fascinates readers from the first pages and colorful bright patterns of Victorian London complement its wittiness and charm.
