Het lijkt er eerder op dat de globalisering zich voortzet en dat men elkaar niet meer krijgt,
althans, ik lees in de krant dat jonge hoogopgeleide vrouwen moeite hebben met het vinden
van partners. Hoe zit dat?
Met deze vragen laat ik u graag even alleen, in de hoop dat u daarop een antwoord hebt als
"Dombey and Son" aan de orde komt in onze herfstbijeenkomst!
Met Dickensiaanse groet,
Paul Ferdinandusse
Dombey and Son
Preface of 1848
I cannot forego my usual opportunity of saying farewell to my
readers in this greetingplace, though I have only to acknowledge
the unbounded warmth and earnestness of their sympathy in every
stage of the journey we have just concluded.
If any of them have felt a sorrow in one of the principal incidents
on which this fiction turns. I hope it may be a sorrow of that sort
which endears the sharers in it, one to another. This is not
unselfish in me. I may claim to have felt it, at least as much as
anybody else; and I wouldfain be remembered kindly for my part in
the experience.
