ABOUT THE BOOK:
Original publication: 1846
Paul Dombey, a business man who runs his family life as he runs his firm: coldly, calculatingly and commercially. The only person Dombey cares for is his frail son, grooming him for entry into the family business, while abandoning and ignoring his his daughter Florence, who craves affection from her unloving father.
It has been said that the story of Dombey and Son is a refection upon Dicken’s own childhood. Can this heartless businessman be redeemed? A compelling depiction of a man imprisoned by his own pride, Dombey and Son explores the devastating effects of emotional deprivation on a dysfunctional family and on society as a whole.

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.
