Hard Times

Charles Dickens

First published 1854

In the industrial town of Coketown, Thomas Gradgrind's devotion to facts collides with the imaginative needs of his children and neighbors. Dickens brings satire, anger, and unexpected tenderness to a novel about education, labor, class, and the moral cost of treating people as numbers.
