Dombey and Son (English, Paperback, Charles Dickens)

‘I really think I have done it ingeniously and with a very complicated interweaving of truth and fiction.’ So wrote Dickens of David Copperfield (1850), the novel he called his ‘favourite child’. Through his hero Dickens draws openly on his own life, as David Copperfield recalls his experiences from childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Rosa Dartle, Dora, Steerforth and Uriah Heep are among the characters who focus the hero’s sexual and emotional drives, and Mr Micawber, a portrait of Dickens’s own father, evokes the mixture of love, nostalgia and guilt that, put together, make this Dickens’s most quoted and best-loved novel.
