Book excerpt: The world of Hard Times For These Times revolves around a small industrial town firmly in the grip of one businessman. Bounderby is owner of the local mill and Gradgrind, his employee, is the schoolmaster--together they define and enforce the town's moral character with an iron fist. Many of the characters--including Gradgrind eventually--try and fail to resist Bounderby's influence, to their own demise. Published in 1854, the novel revealed Dickens' sharpest views on capitalism and its questionable moral underpinnings and spurred significant critical debate among his contemporaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hard Times is one of the most popular novels by Charles Dickens. First published in 1854, the book chronicles the then English society and satirizes the socio- economic conditions of the era. It is the shortest of Dickens's novels in which the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, One is easily carried away by its description in the novel that says, “It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it…” Hard Times has been one of Dickens' best-sellers and widely taught in schools. The novel was serialized before the complete volume of the book was published. Hard Times follows a classical three-way structure in which first part of the book is entitled ‘Sowing’, second part is ‘Reaping’, and the third is ‘Garnering.’ In order to expose his views on the right of the common man, Dickens uses the character of Sleary, proprietor of Sleary's Circus.

Book excerpt: Do you want to snuggle in with a good historical fiction book? Hard Times - also known as Hard Times: For These Times - is a satirical novel that makes a statement about the social and economic conditions of the 19th century. It was written by Charles Dickens and first published in 1854. It is Dickens' tenth and shortest novel. The story unfolds in the Coketown, which is a small, fictitious, English town in the Victorian industrial era. It is a depressing place, filled with black soot, belching chimneys, brick, and machinery. The schoolmaster there, Thomas Gradgrind, seems to have the singular purpose of hammering facts and statistics into the minds of his students without encouraging independent thought or creativity. Whether intentional or not, his philosophy serves to starve the soul while feeding the mind. His inflexibility and demands of conformity not only damage his pupils, but also leads to the destruction of his own family unit. The novel is laced with satire. Dickens expertly mocks the social and economic situations of the times while entertaining his readers complex characters and a thick, rich plot that will intrigue you to the very end. This beautiful reprint of the original story is unabridged and unedited, preserving Hard Times for your reading pleasure. It is one of the best historical fiction books and has been a historical fiction best seller for over 165 years! It makes a wonderful gift for the classic fiction fan in your life or a wonderful addition to your library of classic literature. Enjoy! Excerpt: "Mr. Gradgrind walked homeward from the school, in a state of considerable satisfaction. It was his school, and he intended it to be a model. He intended every child in it to be a model-just as the young Gradgrinds were all models."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare edition with unique illustrations. 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.

He tried not to listen to his grumbling stomach or the rats squeaking on the stairs. His dream was to escape that misery one day and become a fine, educated gentleman. Through his gift for writing, that day did come for Dickens. But he never forgot what it was like to be poor. He wrote stories about London's lower classes--tales that made people laugh, cry, and work to improve their social conditions. By the time of his death, Charles Dickens had become one of the most popular English writers ever. Step into nineteenth-century London and the life of Charles Dickens in this exciting book. David R. Collins's exciting biography and David Mataya's powerful illustrations bring this master storyteller to life.
