In this carefully crafted novel, Dickens reveals the complexity of London society in the enterprising 1840s as he takes the listener into the business firm and home of one of its most representative patriarchs, Paul Dombey. A sensitive family drama unfolds between this stern father, his two children, and aloof wife in which time and fateful events bring a slow, inexorable pressure to bear upon the hearts of all. In Paul Dombey we witness the force of social and personal arrogance ("For Dombey is as proud, Ma'am, as Lucifer") wrestling with his own stubborn, but not unredeemable, heart.(P)1996 Blackstone Audio Inc.

Recensioni della critica

"Frederick Davidson gives such a splendid dramatization of this family saga, set in London in the 1840's, that it's almost like watching theater." (AudioFile)

This is the first time in a year that I quit listening because of the interpretation. The reader has a kind of mocking dandy accent that I do not consider fit for Dickens. This is however a personal opinion. The major trouble is that sentences are often broken by longer intervals at commas then at full stops. This is perhaps a problem with mixing and post-production. Whatever the readon, the result is that it is impossible to make sense of Dickens's long-winded sentences and follow the narrative. I have resorted to a cheap version found on Google Books which is more sober, but far more clear and will complete the novel there.
