Ürün Tanıtımı

Coketown is dominated by the figure of MrThomas Gradgrind, school headmaster and model of Utilitarian success. Feedingboth his pupils and his family with facts, he bans fancy and wonder from youngadult minds. As a consequence his obedient daughter Louisa marries the lovelessbusinessman and 'bully of humanity' Mr Bounderby, and his son Tom rebels tobecome embroiled in gambling and robbery. And, as their fortunes cross withthose of free-spirited circus girl Sissy Jupe and victimised weaver Stephen Blackpool,Gradgrind is eventually forced to recognise the value of the human heart in anage of materialism and machinery.

This edition of Hard Times is based of the textof the first volume publication of 1854. Kate Flint's introduction sheds lighton the frequently overlooked character interplay in Dickens's great critique ofVictorian industrial society.
