| Publisher Description: Dombey and Son is a novel by Charles Dickens published in 1848. Originally titled Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation, the story centers on Paul Dombey, a wealthy business owner of a shipping company. His wife dies in child birth with his second child, a son, his first, a daughter, which he continually neglects. The story was hailed as one of his most underappreciated novels as it details the neglect Dombey's daughter receives, a cruel mirror of the society at the time. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama. |
