Journal Entry 1 by Medievalia7 from Oviedo/Uviéu, Asturies/Asturias Spain on Wednesday, July 9, 2014
"It was now too late and too far to go back, and I went on. And the mists had all solemny risen now, and the world lay spread before me"
It will be released at Café Gloria
Great, this was on my wish list! Thank you, medievalia :)
It was Mr. Pip who lured me into reading this. And it's less boring than I feared.
Kind of a coming of age story with a gothic tinge, it's a Victorian bildungsroman and an entwined adventure which teems with quite eccentric, comical characters.
Dickens cut Great Expectations into 35 chapters and published them chapter by chapter in Harper's Weekly (1860/61). The story thus somehow works like a soap opera, one always wants to know how it continues. Clever ;)

Pip is on somebody's wish list and travels to Köln :)
From my wish-list! Thanks a lot!
