DOMBEY AND SON is the story of Mr. Dombey, the proud rich owner of a shipping house, whose selfishness has tragic consequences for his family.

Throughout the novel runs the theme, a favorite of Dickens, of the railway, a symbol of vitality and change, it contrasts strongly with Dombey,s coldness and unflinching arrogance.
