Dombey & figlio
Pubblicato a puntate mensili tra ottobre 1846 e aprile 1848, Dombey & Figlio rappresenta una svolta nella produzione dickensiana: è il primo romanzo dell'autore concepito come un'opera unitaria e organicamente pianificata fin dall'inizio. Il romanzo esplora temi attuali: l'avidità, l'orgoglio, le relazioni disfunzionali, il ruolo delle donne nella società, la critica al capitalismo e il potere corrosivo del denaro. Attraverso una galleria di personaggi memorabili, Dickens costruisce un affresco sociale di straordinaria profondità che precorre i grandi capolavori della maturità come David Copperfield e Bleak House. Paul Dombey, ricco mercante londinese, desidera un erede maschio per perpetuare il nome della sua ditta. Quando nasce il tanto atteso figlio, la madre muore, lasciando anche Florence, la figlia che il padre disprezza. Il piccolo Paul, fragile e malaticcio, muore a sei anni distruggendo le speranze paterne. Determinato ad avere un nuovo erede, Dombey sposa l'indomita Edith Granger. Il matrimonio diventa una battaglia di orgoglio, complicata dalle macchinazioni del subdolo James Carker, direttore della ditta. In questo capolavoro di critica sociale, Dickens dipinge un affresco della società vittoriana, narrando la caduta e la redenzione di un uomo che deve imparare che l'amore vale più del denaro.

Five Weeks in the Country
A Novel“No one states problems more correctly, more astutely, more amusingly and more uncomfortably than Francine Prose . . . Her insights, the subtle ones and the two-by-fours, make me shake my head in despair, in surprise, in heartfelt agreement. The gift of her work to a reader is to create for us what she creates for her protagonist: the subtle unfolding, the moment-by-moment process of discovery as we read and change, from not knowing and even not wanting to know or care, to seeing what we had not seen and finding our way to the light of the ending.” — New York Times Book Review on The Vixen “Masterful. . . . a lovely tribute to the transformative value of imagination.” — Washington Post on Mr. Monkey “Remarkable. . . . [Prose] is the Meryl Streep of literary fiction, convincingly shifting between multiple voices and points of view-not just from book to book, but within a single work.” — NPR on Mr. Monkey “Prose’s first memoir makes something dark and dizzying of a tumultuous decade.” — New York magazine on 1974 “A rollicking trickster of a novel, wondrously funny and wickedly addictive.” — Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette "Combining elements of mystery and romance, Prose’s novel is a sly indictment of Cold War paranoia." — The New Yorker "In this wonderfully clear-sighted memoir Francine Prose catches a moment when idealism shifted and the world turned. 1974 is also a story about youth, risk and survival—a story women don't tell often enough, perhaps. Wise, achieved, entirely satisfying." — Anne Enright, author of The Wren, the Wren “Francine Prose’s sublime, haunting memoir shows us the Seventies in all its dizzying contradictions—the darkness and paranoia, the open roads and strange new connections. A world where some voices disintegrated, never to cohere again—while others emerged, brilliant and searing, out of the calamity. Poignant, mesmerizing, profound—1974 offers revelations not just about the Seventies but about our world today.” — Danzy Senna, author of Caucasia and New People “(A) madcap, razor-sharp comedy.” — People
