Ilustration As Books Dombey and Son

Dombey and Son, Charles Dickens’s story of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall, showcases the author’s gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. As Jonathan Lethem contends in his Introduction, Dickens’s “genius . . . is at one with the genius of the form of the novel itself: Dickens willed into existence the most capacious and elastic and versatile kind of novel that could be, one big enough for his vast sentimental yearnings and for every impulse and fear and hesitation in him that countervailed those yearnings too. Never parsimonious and frequently contradictory, he always gives us everything he can, everything he’s planned to give, and then more.” This Modern Library Paperback Classic was set from the 1867 “Charles Dickens” edition.

Criticism Containing Books Dombey and Son

Pride Will Have a Fall(view spoiler)[There is some temptation to make the whole of Dickenss mammoth of a novel, Dombey and Son, boil down to the above saw all the more so since Dickens, according to Forster, meant to focus on Pride the same way he had done in Martin Chuzzlewit, its predecessor, with regard to another deadly sin, Greed. However, since a saw as Ambrose Bierce suggested has been given its name because it makes its way into a wooden head, we might flatter Dickens, and ourselves,

Dombey and Son is one of Dickens' best! This novel, in my opinion, rivals Little Dorrit. The main protagonist, Florence Dombey is an amazing woman, full of strength and character which guides her through some incredibly miserable years. Some of the characters that Dickens develops during the course of this novel are some of the most heinously evil or sad, or full of goodness and love, or are just plain funny. There's a powerful message about the influence of "wealth", not just money, on the

Great review, Peter! :)

Great review, thanks Peter. I like the way you put this novel in the context of his whole oeuvre.

Good old Dickens! Don't know why I haven't read it earlier, but coming across it by accident I immediately thought I'd read it for sentimental reasons. This novel is definitely underrated! Great panorama of the society and minute details make this novel a masterpiece.

I'm ashamed to admit that until I read this book, I hadn't read a lot of Dickens. I skimmed Great Expectations when I was in 9th grade, but only because I was forced, and I read A Christmas Carol for work once (long story, but I was working for an educational publishing company and we were doing a dumbed-down version). After finishing Dombey and Son, I'm afraid I don't have anything especially intelligent to add to the reams and reams that has been written about Dickens, except that I'm excited

Dombey and Son is a novel about pride and ambition. Paul Dombey, proud, wealthy, arrogant and frigid, is a man to whom the idea of "Dombey and Son" is paramount. There has always been a "Dombey and Son"; there will always be a "Dombey and Son". It is his whole world, his reason for being. Everything in his life is focused and directed towards this. The full title of the book is Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation. Therefore the "son" of the title,
