Dickens, Charles 1812-1870
Dombey and son Charles Dickens ; afterword by Alan Pryce-Jones - 1st print. - New York : The New American Library, 1964. - 918 p. ; 18 cm. - (A Signet Classics ; 261) .
"Dombey and Son marks the great turning point of Dicken´s artistic career.. In it, he departs forever from the picaresque world of his earlier novels, in which only individual villainy had marred the landscape of life; for the first time he envisions evil as inherent in the structure of his society, and gives unified form to this vision in all its scope, depth, adn compelxity. Set in an England caught in the throes of industrial revolution and commercial expansion, this tale of a proud, ambitious, and morally blind businessman, adn his pernicious effect upon the multitude of lives around him, stands as a memorable indictment of a corrive economic system, and as profouund plea for human values. Written with immense vitality, abounding in characters of extraordinary of vividness, and superb in total design, Dombey and son is , as Edgar Johnson has written, "One of Dickens´greatest books" the first reat asterpieces of Dickens´maturity". Alan Pryce-Jones declares: "In a world, the book is carried throughby its gusto. We do not have tu supend disbelief. Dickens has the air, the panache, to make us believe...". contraportada.
