Great Expectations is Charles Dickens`s thirteenth novel. It is his second novel, after David Copperfield, to be fully narrated in the first person. Great Expectations is a bildungsroman, or a coming-of-age novel, and it is a classic work of Victorian literature. It depicts the growth and personal development of an orphan named Pip. The novel was first published in serial form in Dickens`s weekly periodical All the Year Round, from 1 December 1860 to August 1861.

The novel is collected and dense, with a conciseness unusual for Dickens. It is set among the marshes of Kent and in London in the early to mid-1800s. The novel contains some of Dickens most memorable scenes, including its opening, in a graveyard, when the young orphan Pip is accosted by the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch.

Great Expectations is a graphic book, full of extreme imagery, poverty, prison ships (`the hulks`), barriers and chains, and fights to the death. George Bernard Shaw praised the novel as `All of one piece and consistently truthful.` Dickens felt Great Expectations was his best work. It has colorful cast that has entered popular culture: the capricious Miss Havisham, the cold and beautiful Estella, Joe the kind and generous blacksmith, the dry and sycophantic Uncle Pumblechook, Mr. Jaggers, Wemmick with his dual personality, and the eloquent and wise friend, Herbert Pocket.

„Velika očekivanja“ je trinaesti roman Čarlsa Dikensa, a drugi, nakon „Dejvida Koperfilda“, koji je u potpunosti napisan u prvom licu. „Velika očekivanja“ je obrazovni roman, ili roman o odrastanju, i klasično je delo viktorijanske književnosti. Prikazuje rast i lični razvoj siročeta po imenu Pip. Roman je prvi put objavljen u nastavcima u Dikensovom časopisu „ All the Year Round“, od 1. decembra 1860. do avgusta 1861. godine.

Roman je sabran i gust, sa sažetošću neuobičajenom za Dikensa. Radnja romana smeštena je u močvare Kenta i Londona početkom i sredinom 19. veka. Roman sadrži neke od Dikenovih najupečatljivijih scena, uključujući početak na groblju, kada siroče Pipa nalazi odbegli osuđenik, Abel Magvič.

„Velika očekivanja“ je grafička knjiga puna ekstremnih slika, siromaštva, zatvorskih brodova („olupina“), barijera i lanaca, i borbi do smrti. Džordž Bernard Šo je pohvalio roman kao „sav od jednog komada i dosledno istinit“. Dikens je smatrao da su „Velika očekivanja“ njegovo najbolje delo. „Velika očekivanja“ imaju šaroliku postavu likova koja je ušla u popularnu kulturu: hirovitu gospođicu Havišam, hladnu i lepu Estelu, Džoa, ljubaznog i velikodušnog kovača, ulizicu i “suvog” ujaka Pamblčuka, gospodina Džegersa, Vemika sa svojom dvostrukom ličnošću i elokventnog i mudrog prijatelja, Herberta Poketa.
