'The earth was made for Dombey and Son to trade in, and the sun and moon were made to give them light'
Dombey and Son is both a firm and a family and the ambiguous connection between public and private life lies at the heart of Dickens' novel. Paul Dombey is a man who runs his domestic affairs as he runs his business: calculatingly, callously, coldly and commercially. Through his dysfunctional relationships with his son, his two wives, and his neglected daughter Florence, Dickens paints a vivid picture of the limitations of a society dominated by commercial values and the drive for profit and explores the possibility of moral and emotional redemption through familial love.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) es uno de los grandes narradores ingleses de todos los tiempos. Entre sus obras más conocidas se cuentan "Tiempos difíciles", "Grandes esperanzas", "Oliver Twist", "David Copperfield", "La tienda de antigüedades", "Historia de dos ciudades" y "Canción de Navidad", todas ellas publicadas en Alianza Editorial además de sus "Cuentos de miedo".
