"上等人"就有《遠大前程》？

“Pip knows the meaning of his life. Money is not important. Being a gentleman is not important. Great expectations are not important. Friendship is important.”

Pip has no parents and he lives with his sister and her husband, Joe. Joe is a blacksmith and Pip works with him. One day, Miss Havisham invites Pip to her house. Miss Havisham is very rich but she hates men. Estella, a beautiful young girl, lives with Miss Havisham and she is very proud.

Pip is eighteen years old and he cannot forget Estella. When Pip receives a lot of money from a secret benefactor, he goes to London and learns to be a gentleman.

When Pip becomes a gentleman, will Estella fall in love with him?
