Description
Mr. Dombey is a man obsessed with his firm. His son is groomed from birth to take his place within it, despite his visionary eccentricity and declining health. But Dombey also has a daughter, whose unfailing love for her father goes unreturned. "Girls," said Mr. Dombey, "have nothing to do with Dombey and Son." When Walter Gay, a young clerk in her father's office, rescues her from a bewildering experience in the streets of London, his unforgettable friends believe he is well on his way to receiving her hand in marriage and inheriting the company. It is to be a very different story. Rich with comic characters, and their joyful explosions of language, this is a powerful and moving story written with Dickens' unerring magic and accurate depictions of London life.
