Description

Hard Times by Charles Dickens is a thought-provoking novel that explores the importance of facts in everyday life. In this utilitarian world, Mr Thomas Gradgrind's emphasis on facts alone is put to the test as his family's fortunes become increasingly intertwined with those of others. As the story unfolds, the consequences of Gradgrind's rigid approach are revealed, affecting not only his own children but also those around him. A young circus girl and a victimised weaver find themselves drawn into the midst of this materialistic world, forcing Gradgrind to confront the value of human connection in an age of machinery. This Penguin English Library edition brings Dickens' story to life with its engaging narrative and well-crafted characters.
