Dombey and Son (version 2)


Gelesen von Cynthia Lyons (1946-2011)

(4.5 stars; 6 reviews)

Dombey and Son is a novel by the Victorian author Charles Dickens. The story concerns Paul Dombey, the wealthy owner of the shipping company of the book's title, whose dream is to have a son to continue his business. The book begins when his son is born, and Dombey's wife dies shortly after giving birth.

As with most of Dickens' work, a number of socially significant themes are to be found in this book. In particular the book deals with the then-prevalent common practice of arranged marriages for financial gain. Other themes to be detected within this work include child cruelty (particularly in Dombey's treatment of Florence), familial relationships, and as ever in Dickens, betrayal and deceit and the consequences thereof.

Cynthia is a great reader, I really enjoyed listening to her. This is now one of my favorite Dicken's book. :)

The reading is good, but the constant microphone noise doesn't become an acquired taste.
