Dombey and Son

Average rating
4 out of 5
Based on 15,375 Ratings and 976 Reviews

Book Description
Through the cold-hearted Mr. Dombey and the predatory Mr. Carker, "Dombey and Son" examines a system whereby the pursuit of profit replaces everything of value in life. With his customarily brilliant characterizations and vivid descriptions of Victorian London, Dickens responds to the contradictions of Britain's growing industrial power--its potential for creation and destruction, life and death.
