Hard Times is one of Charles Dickens' most incisive and critical novels. Set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown, the work explores the harsh living and working conditions during the Industrial Revolution, focusing on the utilitarian philosophy that prioritizes facts and logic over imagination and human feelings. Through memorable characters like the stern Mr. Gradgrind, Dickens offers a powerful reflection on dehumanization in modern society.
