Great Expectations

Considered by many to be Dickens finest novel, Great Expectations traces the growth of the books narrator, Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character. From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens most memorable characters. Among them are the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward Estella, Pips good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket and the pompous Pumblechook. As Pip unravels the truth behind his own ‘great expectations’ in his quest to become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his most important discovery of all - the truth about himself. Wordsworth Collectors Editions are compact cloth-bound hardbacks with matching coloured end papers, embossed gold and coloured blocking to enhance their beautiful, bespoke cover illustrations.

Drohen die USA politisch auseinanderzubrechen? Die USA – Sehnsuchtsland der Freiheit und des wirtschaftlichen Aufstiegs f?r die einen, arrogante Supermacht mit imperialistischer Agenda f?r die anderen. Man kann sich reiben an Amerika. Und mit dem Amtsantritt von Pr?sident Donald Trump 2017 ist vielen bewusst geworden, dass »God’s own country« noch immer voller ?berraschungen steckt. Gerade noch gl?nzte der Stern des Friedensnobelpreistr?gers Barack Obama und schon ist man sprachlos angesichts von Trumps »America first«-Politik. Seit der politische Quereinsteiger im Wei?en Haus residiert, tobt ein Kulturkampf in den USA. Trumps Anh?nger glauben, die globalistische Linke habe ihn angezettelt, um das Amerika der Gr?nderv?ter zu zerst?ren. Sie sind zur Gegenrevolution ?bergegangen, um zu bewahren, was sie f?r das historische Erbe des Landes halten. Trump f?hrt diese Revolte mit seiner »Make America great again«-Kampagne an. Er hat Jobs geschaffen, die Wirtschaft stimuliert, den Umweltschutz aufgeweicht und Handelskriege angezettelt. Hat er Amerika damit »great again« gemacht? Zumindest bis zum Ausbruch der Corona-Krise, die die USA besonders hart getroffen hat? Oder bis der Tod von George Floyd landesweit die »Black Lives Matter«-Bewegung gegen Rassismus und Polizeigewalt mobilisiert hat? Die ARD-Auslandskorrespondenten Julia Kastein und Sebastian Hesse-Kastein haben sich auf den Weg gemacht, auf einen Roadtrip durch ein ver?ndertes Land. Sie haben Amerikaner aus den unterschiedlichsten Lebenswelten getroffen, ihnen zugeh?rt. Sie haben den amerikanischen Alltag gelebt, auch im Corona-Lockdown. Die Reportagen und Fotos in diesem Band f?gen sich zu einem Gesamtbild, das die USA dieser Tage neu und ganz anders darstellt. Ein zerrissenes Land, das auf der Suche nach sich selbst ist.

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald’s finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick’s cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.
