{"product_id":"dombey-and-son","title":"Dombey and Son","description":"To Paul Dombey, business is everything and money can do anything. He runs his family life as he runs his firm: coldly, calculatingly and commercially. The only person he cares for is his little son, while his motherless daughter Florence craves affection from her unloving father, who sees her only as a base coin that couldn't be invested'. As Dombey's callousness extends to others - from his defiant second wife Edith to Florence's admirer Walter Gay - he sows the seeds for his own destruction. Can this heartless businessman be redeemed? A compelling depiction of a man imprisoned by his own pride, \"Dombey and Son\" (1848) explores the devastating effects of emotional deprivation on a dysfunctional family and on society as a whole.","brand":"Blue Vase Bulk","offers":[{"title":"Used \/ 9780140430486-001","offer_id":43778184871997,"sku":"9780140430486-001","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/27192633482237.jpg?v=1791370657","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/dombey-and-son","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
