Dickens was a vehement critic of Victorian society's poverty and social division. Dickens was forced to quit school to work a ten-hour day shift in a factory when his father was imprisoned for a debt. Despite his lack of formal schooling, he established himself as a literary titan and acquired worldwide acclaim during his lifetime. Hard Times is the narrative of Thomas Gradgrind, a school administrator who raises his children, Louisa and Tom, in an environment devoid of anything but pragmatic and quantifiable facts and data. As a result of this evil approach, their lives are lacking of imagination, beauty, and empathy, and they live without a moral compass. Gradgrind is forced to admit that his foolish ideas have permanently damaged them as adults as they gradually descend into frustration and despair."A magnificent reprint" We have taken every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
