Description
Dombey and Son is a darkly witty tale of two siblings' struggle to achieve happiness in the shadow of their father's pride. Paul Dombey, driven by his business acumen, runs his family life with cold calculation, prioritising profit over people.
The consequences of this approach are devastating, affecting not only those closest to him but also society as a whole. As Dombey's relationships with his daughter Florence and second wife Edith deteriorate, he sows the seeds of his own destruction.
This edition of Dombey and Son includes a chronology, further reading, appendices, notes, and the original illustrations by 'Phiz'. With its introduction and commentary, this Penguin Classics edition provides an authoritative text that explores the effects of emotional deprivation on a dysfunctional family.
