«Hard Times» is Charles Dickens's novel in adapted form, published by Collins Educational Glasgow in paperback (128 pages, in English).
In Coketown, an industrial city dominated by factories, Thomas Gradgrind raises his children with an education based only on facts and statistics, with no room for imagination or affection. That rigidity drags them into despair. With circus, music and dark comedy, Dickens attacks materialism and champions the human heart.
Work originally published in 1854; this edition, abridged and simplified by Viola Huggins, with illustrations by Scoular Anderson, is from Collins English Library (level 6) and includes answers.
Edition aimed at students of English as a foreign language, within a collection of graded readers that brings classics closer with simplified vocabulary.

His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read today.
