A PENGUIN CLASSICS HARDCOVER HARD TIMES - CHA...

Coketown is dominated by the figure of Mr Thomas Gradgrind  school headmaster and model of
Utilitarian success. Feeding both his pupils and family with facts  he bans fancy and wonder
from any young minds. As a consequence his obedient daughter Louisa marries the loveless
businessman and bully of humanity Mr Bounderby  and his son Tom rebels to become embroiled in
gambling and robbery. And  as their fortunes cross with those of free-spirited circus girl
Sissy Jupe and victimized weaver Stephen Blackpool  Gradgrind is eventually forced to recognize
the value of the human heart in an age of materialism and machinery.
