About this book

The proud, cold shipping magnate Mr. Dombey longs for a son to carry on his firm and neglects his devoted daughter Florence, setting in motion a family tragedy of pride, loss, and eventual redemption. Around the house of Dombey and Son swirl some of Dickens's finest creations—the villainous manager Carker, the warm-hearted Captain Cuttle, the doomed little Paul. A powerful study of the corrosions of pride and the coming of the railway age that was transforming England, the novel blends heartbreak, comedy, and social observation on the grand Dickensian scale. Moving and richly peopled, Dombey and Son marks Dickens's growth into his mature, tightly constructed masterpieces.
