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.

评分The quality of Wordsworth version is fucking terrible , I mean it
评分前半部分超难读,断断续续读了n年也没看完,但结尾部分跌宕起伏,几天就看完了。狄更斯真是不折不扣的moralist~~

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...
评分 评分开头那一段说马的,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...
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...
