About this listen
Dombey and Son is a poignant exploration of pride, family, and the pursuit of legacy in Victorian England. The novel follows the powerful and often cold-hearted Paul Dombey, a wealthy shipping magnate, who places all his hopes for the future on his son, young Paul. Obsessed with the idea of inheriting his business and name, Dombey’s disregard for the emotional needs of his children—especially his daughter Florence—leads to devastating consequences. As the story unfolds, Dombey’s single-minded pursuit of his goals ultimately challenges his understanding of love, family, and success.
With his masterful narrative, Dickens paints a moving portrait of the clash between material ambition and human connection, showing how pride and stubbornness can blind one to the most important bonds. Through memorable characters, from the tender-hearted Florence to the complex and flawed Dombey himself, Dombey and Son is both a social critique and a deeply human story about the struggles for power, affection, and redemption.
