HARD TIMES - CHARLES DICKENS KARTONIERT (TB)

In Hard Times  Dickens illustrates the condition of England through the fictional city of
Coketown. Among its inhabitants are Thomas Gradgrind  the utilitarian headmaster who attempts
to impose his rigid worldview on his family circle  and the uncaring businessman Mr Bounderby.
Their materialist philosophies  as opposed to the world of fancy or imagination  are tested
throughout the novel  which also explores workers' conditions  trade unions and the spurious
use of statistics.Perhaps the most polemical of his novels - in which hard-biting satire 
moving drama and exuberant comedy find a very succinct and powerful expression - Hard Times is
the ideal introduction to the world of Dickens.
