Description
Hard Times is a novel that explores the lives of ordinary people in a fictional industrial town. Set in the mid-Victorian era, the story is marked by stark contrasts between the harsh realities of life and the occasional moments of joy and humanity. The town is dominated by the strict utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind and the factory owner Josiah Bounderby, but a circus troupe brings a sense of warmth and affection to the community. This edition of the book features introduction and notes by Dinny Thorold, as well as illustrations by F. Walker and Maurice Greiffenhagen.
