"Hard Times" is regarded as one of Dickens' darker novels. It introduces the character of Thomas Gradgrind. Like many of Dickens' characters, Gradgrind's name tells the reader much of what they need to know. As schoolmaster Gradgrind says, "Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir " Gradgrind's factual upbringing dooms his children, Tom and Louisa, in different ways. The book is set in "Coketown," an industrial city. Because of its treatment of the role of factory work, as well as education, in society, "Hard Times" was thought to be a "socialist" work at the time of its publication. It was also written during a time when Dickens was experiencing trouble in his own marriage, and it features a number of unhappy couples and much family discord. Less popular at its publication than many of other Dickens' works, "Hard Times" remains one of the most-taught of Dickens' major books, possibly because of the group, it is the shortest.

评分看的第一本狄更斯的英文原作，不得不说读的很辛苦，因为个人词汇量低，一边不停的翻字典一边琢磨每个句子的逻辑，半天也看不了几章 但光是那些句子就让人觉得妙不可言了，大概这是英语非母语的人看英文有限才会有的感慨吧…… 不过有些感觉是看原文才有的，即使自己来翻不一定...
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...
