Dombey And Son: Charles Dickens

Dombey is a proud, stern and unfeeling man obsessed with his son, longing for the day that his shipping firm will one day bear the name Dombey and Son. This single-minded ambition, granted... then cruelly taken away, leads Dombey through tragedy, bitterness and separation from his staunch daughter Florence and others who he has wronged and who nevertheless have endeavoured to love him.
