From AudioFile

Frederick Davidson gives such a splendid dramatization of this family saga, set in London in the 1840's, that it's almost like watching theater. Davidson matches his versatile voice to each one of the principals. He also manages to distinguish with equal elasticity among a host of vivid and disparate supporting characters. Thanks to Davidson's seamless delivery, the narrative sweeps the listener through more than 40 hours of sustained drama. J.H.L. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Book Description

'"Dom-bey and Son"...Those three words conveyed the one idea of Mr. Dombey's life. The earth was made for Dombey and Son to trade in, and the sun and moon were made to give them light.' The hopes of Mr Dombey for the future of his shipping firm are centred on his delicate son Paul, and Florence, his devoted daughter,is unloved and neglected. When the firm faces ruin, and Dombey's second marriage ends in disaster, only Florence has the strength and humanity to save her father from desolate solitude. This new edition contains Dickens's prefaces, his working plans, and all the original illustrations by 'Phiz'. The text is that of the definitive Clarendon edition. It has been supplemented by a wide-ranging Introduction, highlighting Dickens's engagement with his times, and the touching exploration of family relationships which give the novel added depth and relevance. The Notes and Bibliography have been substantially revised, extended, and updated.

This review is from: Penguin Classics Dombey And Son (Paperback)
The inexplicably neglected 'Dombey and Son' is a stunning masterpiece of 19th century fiction. The invention and bravura of Dickens' use of language is astounding. Coupled with that is a wonderful insight into the introduction of the railways in Victorian England and the often oppressive, alienating powers of a rampant Capitalist system that forces itself above the values of family and personal relationships. In 'Dombey and Son', the dangers of equating business partnerships with social ones are vividly revealed. Coupled with all of this is the presentation of one of Dickens' most compellingly vile villans: Carker. You could call this book, and the ones that come after it, "Dickens' with Teeth" and it is 'Dombey and Son' that inaugurates this development in Dickens' writing. Read it. It's wonderful.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Volcanic passions given voice, Mars 15 2009
This review is from: Dombey and Son (Paperback)
I didn't expect to love this novel. Having previously read only _Tale of Two Cities_ from Dickens' works, I expected the forces of security, order, affection and moral imagination to dominate again, and of course, they do win out in _Dombey and Son_. However, Dickens' overlong tale of an indomitably driven capitalist and his alienation from his children does not shy away from giving due attention to powerful contradictions and volcanic voices of dissent. As Paul Dombey attempts with increasing energy to force everyone around him to comply with the demands of domestic and economic respectability, his wife, children, and friends increasingly undermine him. Most striking are the figures of Edith, whose titanic dissent totally thrilled me, and James Carker, who exposes the internal contradictions of "family values" and capitalism. Dombey's daughter Florence, who he attempts mightily to ignore and devalue in favour of his son, is ultimately vindicated: Dombey must finally give her due justice as a human being (although Florence's dogged loyalty and inexplicable affection for her father seriously irked me!). Dickens provides some astonishingly powerful passages, especially the description of the railway as it thunders mechanized order through the city and countryside, and its association with Dombey's single-minded capitalism. Working-class characters are represented with neither dignity nor justice. However, the book is a great read, and highly recommended, even if you dislike Dickens' politics.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best Dickens Ever, Janv. 2 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Dombey And Son (Paperback)
This is one of the best Dickens novels I have ever read. The character of Florence is so beautifully developed, and while I was reading, I got the sense that Dickens himself was in love with Florence. There's also that sense of mystery, in the dealings of Mrs. Brown and Alice, and their hatred of Mr. Carker. This book is full of surprises, and I was kept riveted to every single page. This is definitely a book that I would recommend to anyone, and one that I will be reading again and again.
