Items related to Dombey and Son (Wordsworth Classics)
With an Introduction and Notes by Karl Ashley Smith, University of St Andrews.
Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz).
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 type of story.
Dombey and Son moved grown men to tears (Thackeray despaired of 'writing against such power as this'), but its rich, comic characters and their joyful explosions of language draw laughter with equally unerring magic.

Review:
There's no writing against such power as this...one has no chance. --William Makepeace Thackeray
Book Description:
A proud businessman is at the heart of this satire - Dombey and Son is funny, highly relevant and hugely enjoyable.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Hablot K. Browne (Phiz);Hablot K. Browne (Phiz) (illustrator). Paperback. 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 type of story. 'Dombey and Son' moved grown men to tears (Thackeray despaired of "writing against such power as this"), but its rich, comic characters and their joyful explosions of language draw laughter with equally unerring magic. AUTHOR: When 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club', his first novel, was published, Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was just twenty-four. Published, like most of his books, in weekly instalments, it started him on a path to fame, wealth and international acclaim. Widely considered to be a literary genius second only to Shakespeare, Dickens' works, such as 'Great Expectations' and 'A Christmas Carol', remain as popular as ever. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
