"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.

开头那一段说马的，真心震撼。现在还记得清清楚楚。那一大段描述，将孩子们被洗脑成维基百科的那种范儿，太厉害了。让人痛心那些孩子，从小再没有想象力，只剩下一个一个明确定义的名词，和所谓的fact。 读到后面会觉得无趣。原作的英文也确实不算简单，毕竟是19世纪的作品，很...
評分关于circus，american horror story season 4也可以一看，同样充满人文关怀 愿你可以不带偏见地对待每一个人，把每一个人当成一个完整的人看待 “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” 最后tom逃脱的时候，你看到之后想的是”天啊，这个...
評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...
