Great Expectations

De: Charles Dickens

Narrado por: Eddie Izzard

The classic Charles Dickens novel, performed by one of Britain's greatest comedians

Widely considered to be Charles Dickens' greatest and best-loved work, Great Expectations was first published as a serial between December 1860 - August 1861 and has been in print ever since. The story of a young boy from humble origins who dares to dream of becoming a gentleman, it is one of Dickens' most enduring and widely adapted novels.

In this new unabridged production, star comedian and polymath Eddie Izzard infuses the story of Pip with her trademark wit and flair, and breathes new life into some of Dickens' most memorable characters, while staying completely faithful to the novel.

A unique performer and storyteller, Eddie has long held a fascination for Dickens and his work. Whether you're already well-acquainted with the story or you've never read a Charles Dickens novel, this is a must-listen.

What a classic work.

Different and better than my first reading years ago. Well worth the time. Fifteen words from me to you.

Izzard IS Pip!

Izzard is the perfect reader for this novel: poignant, witty, arrogant, naive, generous, wistful. Pitch perfect with every character.

A time honored story

I am CRUSHED...

...that Eddie Izzard’s narration of Great Expectations has ended for me. What a masterful and lovingly told story. What have I now to accompany me during my quiet daily toil? I can only thank Mr. Izzard for his inspired rendering.
