Paul Dombey runs his household as he runs his business: coldly, calculatingly and commercially. The only person he cares for is his little son, while his motherless daughter Florence is merely a 'base coin that couldn't be invested'. As Dombey's callousness extends to others, including his defiant second wife Edith, he sows the seeds of his own destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited with an Introduction and Notes by Andrew Sanders\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dickens, Charles, Sanders, Andrew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536898887864,"sku":"9780140435467","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780140435467.jpg?v=1734750331","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780140435467","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
