“Dombey and Son” is the eleventh novel by Charles Dickens which was considered by contemporaries of the time as a first mature work. Only after “Dombey and Son” Dickens gained the reputation as the world class author. The plot of the story goes around the powerful head of the House of Dombey, the wealthy owner of the shipping company, whose dream is to have a son to continue his business. The novel itself doesn't consist of numerous ideas or latent semantic implications. It may be classified as an ordinary novel of human fates.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This dark study of pride is a pivotal if unappreciated work in Dickens's oeuvre. Dickens focuses on the Dombey family, eschewing his idiosyncratic panoramic scope and ensemble casts. David Timson is a dream casting; he endows each character with depth, personality and pathos, again displaying why he is a perennial favorite in audio narration. This abridgment offers about one-third of the full text, which will serve the casual listener well without burdening their wallet or commandeering the listening schedule.
