中文简介：《远大前程》（Great Expectations），又译《孤星血泪》，是英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯晚年写成的教育小说。故事揭示了爱、忠诚和良心比财富和社会地位要更为重要。故事背景为1812年耶诞节前夕至1840年冬天，主角孤儿皮普（Pip）以自传式手法，叙述从7岁开始的三个人生阶段。此小说贯彻了狄更斯文以载道的风格，透过剧中孤儿人生的跌宕起落，表达他对生命和人性的看法。

英文简介：In what may be Dickens's best novel, humble, orphaned Pip is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman — and one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." In this gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, the compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride.
