Charles Dickens set this tale of a hard-hearted businessman, the son he pins all his hopes on, and the daughter he cruelly neglects in a country undergoing the storms of change brought by the Industrial Revolution.
It is said that all England mourned the heartbreaking fate of little Paul Dombey, but it is the ordeal of his loving and long-suffering sister, Florence, that carries the full emotional weight of the story. Their father’s cold obsession with the future of his business empire, the malevolent plotting of his greedy manager, Mr. Carker, and the tragic self-contempt of his proud second wife, Edith, cast a dark shadow over the life of the motherless girl. But as the world of Dombey and Son begins to fall to pieces, Florence is sustained by the warmth and brightness of humbler allies: her fiercely loyal nurse, Susan Nipper; her haplessly devoted suitor, Toots; the rough but loveable old salt Captain Cuttle and his friend Sol Gills; and her fervent admirer, the orphan Walter Gay. In its locomotive power and its transcendent moments of suspense and revelation, Dombey and Son is a superb example of Dickens’s ability to combine the qualities of a social historian, a theatrical artist, and a poet of the utmost tenderness and insight.
This edition reprints the original Everyman’s introduction by G.K. Chesterton and includes forty illustrations by Phiz.

评分 评分按照书中所附的评价的说法,此书是一幅资产者写照的作品。董贝实质上就是资产者的代表性人物。 我喜欢看韩剧,里面有着大量财阀的形象,可是我一直不理解,按说三代才能够出贵族,从韩国的历史来看,那些人连豪门都算不上,大多是第一代,只能称之为暴发户,怎么还那么耻高气昂...
