«Tiempos difíciles» is Charles Dickens's social criticism novel, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardcover (352 pages, in Spanish).
Mr. Gradgrind imposes an education based only on facts, but in an industrial town in northern England that rigidity clashes with real life. The characters seek happiness while the doctrine that governs them cracks, and Dickens offers a critical look at nineteenth-century England and the dehumanization of the industrial era.
Work originally published as Hard Times: For These Times (1854). This edition appeared in Barcelona in 1990 within the Literatura collection, with a translation by Amando Lázaro Ros.
For those seeking a nineteenth-century classic novel with social criticism and for students approaching Dickens.
Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English writer and journalist. He created some of literature's best-known fictional characters, and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. 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.
