Description

Hard Times is a deeply moving and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of family life and the consequences of misguided values. Published in 1854, this iconic work by Charles Dickens tells the story of the Gradgrind family and their struggles with love, happiness, and the pursuit of practicality.

Set against the backdrop of an industrial city inspired by Preston, Hard Times is a powerful critique of the social and economic systems that shape our lives. With its vivid characters and nuanced exploration of human relationships, this book remains a compelling and unsettling read to this day.

This beautifully bound edition, part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series, features high-quality paper, ribbon markers, and gilt edges, making it a treasured addition to any bookshelf. Illustrated by Harry French and accompanied by an afterword by David Stuart Davies, Hard Times is a must-have for anyone interested in Dickens' work or looking to explore the complexities of Victorian society.
