Hard Times

“Hard Times” is a classic novel written by Charles Dickens and first published in 1854. Set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown, the novel explores the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution, focusing on the dehumanizing impact of utilitarianism and the struggles of the working class. Dickens uses vivid characters such as the stern and utilitarian headmaster Thomas Gradgrind, the pitiful and oppressed worker Stephen Blackpool, and the resilient yet vulnerable Sissy Jupe to illustrate the societal challenges and injustices of the time. Through its exploration of the consequences of industrialization and the relentless pursuit of efficiency, “Hard Times” remains a powerful critique of social and economic systems that prioritize profit over the well-being of individuals. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.5, Kg Written_By: Charles, Dickens Publisher: Fingerprint!, Pub Book Type: Fiction Categories: Classic, Fiction Best For: Who, enjoy, classic, literature, and, are, interested, in, exploring, social, and, economic, issues Ages: 16+ Binding: Paperback Edition: 8, February, 2018 Isbn: 978-9386538345 Language: English Pages: 320 Printing Remarks: Imported Dimension: 20.3, x, 25.4, x, 4.7, cm Total Pages: 320
