Sobre este item
1848 Charles Dickens 1ed Dombey and Son English Literature Illustrated Phiz Art
"There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor."
― Charles Dickens
While not regarded today as Charles Dickens' best work, 'Dombey and Son' was a polarizing novel that captured the hearts of its readers. In fact, the Grolier 'Catalogue of an Exhibition of the Works of Dickens' notes
"that there was nothing in all Dickens's writings better than the life and death of Paul Dombey. The chapter describing his death 'threw a whole nation into mourning'."
This work was first published in 20 monthly installments; this first book edition features the same engravings by H.K. Browne, which are "considered the best efforts of H.K. Browne". (Grolier). It features the two original pen-and-ink drawings by Browne each signed 'Phiz'.

Sinopse
Charles Dickens’s story of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall showcases the author’s gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. It follows the narrative of a shipping firm owner, who abandoned his family in favor of fortune after rejecting his daughter’s love in preference of a son. He later reconciles with her and begs forgiveness before his death. Dombey and Son is a novel by the Victorian author Charles Dickens. It was first published in monthly parts between October 1846 and April 1848 with the full title Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail, and for Exportation . Dickens started writing the book in Lausanne, Switzerland, but traveled extensively during the course of its writing, returning to England to begin another work before completing Dombey and Son.
