具体描述

Charles Dickens set this tale of a hard-hearted businessman, the son he pins all his hopes on, and the daughter he cruelly neglects in a country undergoing the storms of change brought by the Industrial Revolution.

It is said that all England mourned the heartbreaking fate of little Paul Dombey, but it is the ordeal of his loving and long-suffering sister, Florence, that carries the full emotional weight of the story. Their father’s cold obsession with the future of his business empire, the malevolent plotting of his greedy manager, Mr. Carker, and the tragic self-contempt of his proud second wife, Edith, cast a dark shadow over the life of the motherless girl. But as the world of Dombey and Son begins to fall to pieces, Florence is sustained by the warmth and brightness of humbler allies: her fiercely loyal nurse, Susan Nipper; her haplessly devoted suitor, Toots; the rough but loveable old salt Captain Cuttle and his friend Sol Gills; and her fervent admirer, the orphan Walter Gay. In its locomotive power and its transcendent moments of suspense and revelation, Dombey and Son is a superb example of Dickens’s ability to combine the qualities of a social historian, a theatrical artist, and a poet of the utmost tenderness and insight.

This edition reprints the original Everyman’s introduction by G.K. Chesterton and includes forty illustrations by Phiz.

以前没有听说过狄更斯的这本书，但是读完后，感觉它与狄更斯的其他作品相比，一点也不逊色。里面每一个人物都生动活泼，有血有肉，这本书我认为书名应该改为《董贝父女》更贴切一些，里面描绘了伟大的父女之情（书中这种感情是单方面的，女儿热爱着自己的父亲，而父亲却冷漠、...
