Charles Dickens was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His novel Hard Times is regarded as one of the most popular work of the 19th century. It is Dickens' harshest indictment of mid-19th-century industrial practions and their dehumanizing effects, this novel offers a fascinating tapestry of Victorian life, filled with the richness ol detail, brilliant characterization, and passionate social concern that typify the novelist's finest creations. In the grim background of Coketown, a wretched community shadowed by an industrial behemoth, the children sink into lives of desperation and despair. Iouisa falls into a loveless marriage with Josiah Bouderby, a vulgar hanker, while the unscrupulous Тент, totally lacking in principle, becomes a thief who frames an innocent man for his crime, Witnessing the degradation and downfall of his children, Gradgrind realizes that his own inisguided principles have ruined their lives.
