Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, published in monthly parts from 1 October 1846 to 1 April 1848 and in one volume in 1848. Its full title is Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation. The story concerns of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall, showcases the author's gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. As Jonathan Lethem contends in his Introduction, Dickens's "genius … is at one with the genius of the form of the novel itself: Dickens willed into existence the most capacious and elastic and versatile kind of novel that could be, one big enough for his vast sentimental yearnings and for every impulse and fear and hesitation in him that countervailed those yearnings too. Never parsimonious and frequently contradictory, he always gives us everything he can, everything he's planned to give, and then more."

萧伯纳最佳戏剧（英文版）
在萧伯纳一生的创作中，他始终秉持这样的信念，即戏剧要承载重要的社会使命。他反对“为艺术而艺术”的文学主张，认为一切伟大的艺术都是“载道”的，戏剧是教育与宣传的工具，其目的不是供人娱乐，而是鞭挞社会，因此，戏剧必须取材于现实生活，作家在处理题材时，须阐明其社会意义。为了表现思想冲突，萧伯纳采用了争辩式对白，这样，在演出过程中就要求观众积极参与到剧中来。萧伯纳出生于一个清贫却要维持“上等人”门面的家庭。父亲酗酒。母亲有一副美好的歌喉，因与丈夫不和，最终到伦敦以教唱歌为生。不快乐的童年，使萧伯纳自幼就体会到“贫穷就是罪恶”。这一理念，成了他最初几个剧本的主题。萧伯纳离开爱尔兰来到伦敦后，目睹了维多利亚时期繁荣的消失。一次比一次规模更大的资本主义经济危机，使知识分子受到强烈震撼。伦敦出现了各种标榜社会主义的小团体。他们举办的演讲和辩论，吸引了萧伯纳。他坚信，资本主义社会必须改革。后来，他开始到大英博物馆阅览室阅读马克思的《资本论》。对马克思政治经济学的研究，给他的戏剧创作带来巨大影响。其作品曾被好莱坞拍过电影，叫《窈窕淑女》。在中国上映时，曾引发极大轰动。
