IGNATIUS CRITICAL EDITIONS

GREAT

EXPECTATIONS

Charles Dickens

EDITED BY JILL KRIEGEL

故事發生於十九世紀初期英國肯特沼澤區與倫敦市，狄更斯以自傳式手法描寫孤兒皮普坎坷的人生，以及成長所帶來的種種轉變。自幼失怙的皮普，與姊姊、姊夫同住，即便粗衣糲食猶仍自給自足。然而生活卻在皮普遇上富家女艾絲黛拉後產生劇變。這是一部描寫心靈與道德成長，砥礪自我的故事。作品自一八六○年十二月至隔年八月，發刊於狄更斯名下週刊《終歲》（All the Year Round），百年來多次改編為電視、舞台劇、甚而改編登上大螢幕。

有別於市面常見之諾頓文評版（Norton Critical Editions）或牛津世界經典系列（Oxford World Classics），當各家出版社屈從現代主義或是後現代主義，以傳統導向的「依納爵文評版」，仍致力於保持原汁原味的古典文學閱讀傳統，讓讀者得以一窺正統古典文學的原貌。

《孤星血淚》依納爵文評版，由南卡羅萊納州格林維爾聖約瑟夫天主教學校（St. Joseph's Catholic School）專任教師吉兒．克里格編輯翻譯，另專文導讀。本版另收錄狄更斯生平、附註，文末更收錄《孤星血淚》原始結局，以及多篇當代精彩文學評論。

Pope John Paul II described Dickens' books as filled with love for the poor and a sense of social regeneration . . . warm with imagination and humanity. Such true charity permeates Dickens' novels and ultimately drives the characters either to choose regeneration or risk disintegration. In Great Expectations, Pip--symbolic of the pilgrim convert--gains both improved fortunes and a growth in wisdom, but as he acquires the latter, he must relinquish the former--ending with a wealth of profound goodness, not of worldly goods. That the Dickensian message was a Christian one is unmistakable. Reminiscent of an Augustinian model, one of reflection, conversion, and moral improvement, Pip undergoes an internal change that manifests itself in his profound contrition for his earlier deeds and his equally profound resolution to make amends. As we travel with Pip, we find that Dickens leads us to an acceptance of worldly limitations and an anticipation of final salvation. The exciting new edition of Dickens's classic novel includes critical essays by some of today's leading Dickens scholars.

The Ignatius Critical Editions represent a tradition-oriented alternative to popular textbook series such as the Norton Critical Editions or Oxford World Classics, and are designed to concentrate on traditional readings of the Classics of world literature. While many modern critical editions have succumbed to the fads of modernism and post-modernism, this series will concentrate on tradition-oriented criticism of these great works.
