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.

評分在讀托爾金,C.S.劉易斯和狄更斯的小說前,我很少思想關於大團圓結局的事。而這三位作傢是毫不掩飾自己熱愛大團圓結局的,他們都是英國人。我不知道英國文學裏是否有這一種傳承,我讀的很少;不過我相信,在信仰上他們確實是一脈相承。劉易斯的《納尼亞傳奇》和《裸顔》是基督...
評分 評分董貝父子,實則卻是圍繞董貝跟他女兒之間的故事,這或許是標題起得一個暗諷作用吧。狄更斯仍是一貫的喜歡有一個皆大歡喜的結局,董貝作為父親本早已是毫無感情的木頭人,卻能在破産後的那些日日夜夜的沉寂中發覺早已存在的愛父情深,實屬不易。這種長達數日的閉門思過無疑是痛...
評分按照書中所附的評價的說法,此書是一幅資産者寫照的作品。董貝實質上就是資産者的代錶性人物。 我喜歡看韓劇,裏麵有著大量財閥的形象,可是我一直不理解,按說三代纔能夠齣貴族,從韓國的曆史來看,那些人連豪門都算不上,大多是第一代,隻能稱之為暴發戶,怎麼還那麼恥高氣昂...
