Story
Questo lungo romanzo fu scritto tra il 1846 e il 1848, a puntate, e, come altre opere di Dickens presenta una denuncia sociale che riguarda la pratica dei matrimoni effettuati per motivi finanziari, e, in termini più ampi, l'infelicità che ci attende tutte le volte che mescoliamo gli affetti a interessi finanziari. Mr Dombey che vede suo figlio non come una creatura di Dio, ma come un oggetto che proseguirà il successo della sua ditta, è l'emblema spietato di questa oggettualizzazione delle persone, che assume toni strazianti quando le persone "oggettualizzate" sono Florence.

Story
Il romanzo venne pubblicato nel 1840 su un settimanale , e come volume nel 1842. Si compone di una carrellata di personaggi e di descrizioni dettagliate dei luoghi attraversati dalla piccola Nell e da suo nonno, nella loro fuga da Londra. Il libro alterna momenti di caratterizzazione comica dei personaggi (vi si intravedono le radici di altri successivi umoristi di lingua inglese, come Jerome e Wodehouse) a passaggi drammatici, che, tuttavia, come in tutta l’opera di Dickens, non mancano di morale.

Story
Un riche misanthrope brouillé avec le monde entier à l'exception de ses fidèles employés, Mr et Mrs Boffin, meurt après avoir fait fortune en exploitant les décharges de Londres (dustheaps). Son testament stipule que sa fortune est transmise à son fils, John Harmon, qu'il ne voit plus, mais à condition qu'il revienne du lointain étranger où il s'est établi - sans doute l'Afrique du SudN 5 -, pour la recevoir. Cette disposition est assortie d'une autre clause : Harmon doit épouser une jeune femme qu'il ne connaît pas, Miss Bella Wilfer.

Story
Ultima opera compiuta di Dickens, la storia si snoda lungo il Tamigi, testimone e causa di morti. Ma la storia non è cupa come il suo inizio potrebbe far sembrare; la morale sui danni della cupidigia è evidente, il lieto fine inevitabile. La scrittura è qui più moderna, ironica, graffiante, quando tratta delle ipocrisie e inutilità della "vita di società" della borghesia.

Story
This short novel follows the fate of Sissy Jupe, a warm-hearted circus child, and the family that adopts her. Deserted by her ailing father, Sissy is taken into the cold household of the Gradgrind family, which operates a school. The "eminently practical" Thomas Gradgrind believes only in facts and figures and has raised his children accordingly, thoroughly suppressing the imaginative side of their nature, and the consequences are devastating.
