Articoli correlati a Hard Times
No other work of Charles Dickens presents so relentless an indictment of the callous greed of Victorian industrial society and its misapplied utilitarian philosophy, as this the most passionate of his novels. With savage bitterness and fierce irony, Dickens exposes the heartlessness of those industries and their masters who imprisoned not only the bodies but also the minds of the helpless workforce.

L'autore:
Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth in 1812, the son of a clerk and the second of eight children. He taught himself shorthand and became a reporter of parliamentary debates before starting to publish sketches in various periodicals, which were later collected together as Sketches by Boz. His future career as a novelist was assured with the appearance of Pickwick Papers in 1836. He is perhaps the best-known English author of all time and was lauded by his American readers during his tours of the United States. He died in 1870.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Hard Times is perhaps the archetypal Dickens novel, full as it is with family difficulties, estrangement, rotten values and unhappiness. It was published in 1854 and it is the story of the family of Thomas Gradgrind, and occurs in the imaginary Coketown, an industrial city inspired by Preston. Gradgrind is a man obsessed with misguided 'Utilitarian' values that make him trust facts, statistics and practicality more than emotion and is based upon James Mill (the Utilitarian leader). He directs his own children, Louisa and Tom, in this same way: enforcing an artless existence upon them. Contemporary critics such as Macaulay savaged the book for its supposed 'sullen socialism' but it has become well thought-of since the favour of George Bernard Shaw. Illustrated by Harry French, with an Afterword by David Stuart Davies. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR002841848
