Book Description
Hard Times presents a chilling portrait of a Lancashire Mill Town in the 1840s, with its chimneys trailing "interminable serpents of smoke" and downtrodden workers enduring dismal conditions. In addition to stinging social criticism, Hard Times is filled with Dickens's unforgettable characters, his thoroughly natural dialogue, his depth of feeling and his incomparable wit.
