A devastating depiction of a man imprisoned by his own pride, Dombey and Son tells the story of a dysfunctional family. At its head is Paul Dombey, who runs his family life as he runs his firm: coldly, calculatingly and commercially. The only person he cares for is his little son, while his motherless daughter Florence craves affection from her unloving father and his defiant second wife Edith rebels against him. Dickens's great vision of London in the grip of avarice, this is also one of his most heartfelt works, showing how love can survive in the harshest world.
