Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
Unusually for Dickens, the novel is set in the imaginary industrial town of Coketown, the soulless domain of the strict Gradgind and the heartless factory owner Bounderby. Human joy is seen as the open-hearted and affectionate people act as an antidote to the ruthless behaviour Dickens presents.
From School Library Journal
Grade 7-12-Dickens' satire on the Victorian family and the philosophies of a society which sought to turn men into machines.
From AudioFile
In Dickens's story of the horrors of a utilitarian upbringing, reason and facts are everything, and imagination and creativity are nothing. The narrator's British accent goes well with Dickens's overly dramatic and lush prose. He uses different English accents for the numerous male characters, some speech defects for others and a breathy falsetto voice for all the women. While a straight rendition of the dialogue would be an improvement, luckily the story is mainly narrative. Some classics simply may not translate well either to audiobooks or to the 1990's. E.F.
The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Novel by Charles Dickens, published in serial form (as Hard Times: For These Times) in the periodical Household Words from April to August 1854 and in book form later the same year. The novel is a bitter indictment of industrialization, with its dehumanizing effects on workers and communities in mid-19th-century England. Louisa and Tom Gradgrind have been harshly raised by their father, an educator, to know nothing but the most factual, pragmatic information. Their lives are devoid of beauty, culture, or imagination, and the two have little or no empathy for others. Louisa marries Josiah Bounderby, a vulgar banker and mill owner. She eventually leaves her husband and returns to her father's house. Tom, unscrupulous and vacuous, robs his brother-in-law's bank. Only after these crises does their father realize that the principles by which he raised his children have corrupted their lives.

这本书在狄更斯的小说中不算最好的,但是他在书中给我们提了一个问题供我们大家思考,那就是人类是不是只要理性,实际和功利主义,而不要感性、感情和爱。如今我们大多数人已变成了只讲实际的人,交朋友只交往以后对我们有用的人;读书只读励志类、财经类(以上两类书,我们可...

评分晴朗的星期天。闻到太阳暖暖 的味道。慵懒的坐在书桌前,聽著柔和的音樂,屋頂的小鳥不時的應和,一股說不出的閑喜游入心湖。 看完了Hard Times,可惜,以後就沒得看了,真希望這是個沒完的故事。實在忍不住和我的朋友分享這部美妙的著作!雖然是譯文,很多原著的精華被眼前的...
评分 评分这是狄更斯最出名的作品,狄更斯用冷俊的嘲讽笔调表现出对大英帝国的讽刺。当时的大英帝国刚开始成为世界帝国,虽然还保有着贵族阶层,不过资产阶级已经是社会主流,五金批发商葛擂硬已经是国会议员,而庞得贝的管家斯巴塞太太显然是个贵族的旁枝出身,这应该是暗示着贵族们已...
