This book is in the public domain. Its US copyright has expired, so the full text is free to read at Internet Archive and a free Kindle edition is usually offered alongside the paid printings.
Dickens scathing portrait of Victorian industrial society and its misapplied utilitarian philosophy, Hard Times features schoolmaster Thomas Gradgrind, one of his most richly dimensional, memorable characters. Filled with the details and wonders of small-town life, it is also a daring novel of ideas and ultimately, a celebration of love, hope, and limitless possibilities of the imagination.
