One of Dicken's great middle period novels,in which fairy tale,melodrama and realism mingle with halluncinatory power,DOMBEY AND SON weaves together a number of stories which centre upon the family of the self-important merchant,Paul Dombey,and his children Paul and Florence. Supplied with the usual extraordinary cast of Dickensian grotesques,both comic and sinister,the novel also boasts a wonderful villain,in the person of Mr Carker,who tries to seduce Florence and meets his death under a train - the first such death in literary history.
