Hard Times, the shortest of Dickens's full-length novels, is set in the fictitious Victorian-England city of Coketown, where facts are the rule and all fancy is to be stamped out. The plot centers around the men and women of the town, some of whom are beaten down by the city's utilitarian ideals and some of whom manage to rise above it. The novel was written in 1854 and was a scathing attack on then-current ideas of utilitarianism, which Dickens viewed as a selfish and at times oppressive philosophy. Perhaps the novel's best features are its clever, ironic narration and the larger-than-life characters that push the plot forward, such as the upper-class banker and hypocritical braggart, Josiah Bounderby, and the fact-driven schoolmaster, Thomas Gradgrind. (Summary by Rosalind Wills).

That lady Karen Savage, whoever she is, has a beautiful voice. I’ve heard her in other audiobooks, always feel relieved when I hear it’s her that will be narrating. Some people have such shrill voices or annoying accents.

she cured my depression with her voice only.

Would have been awesome if you could put the times where the chapters started in the description so people could click on the chapter they wanted instead of fiddling with the long video

[@terbear8]

maybe thats where they got the idea of vulcans logic from .. however: using a desk or house roof or wooden floor would be wrong because trees grow up not under foot :p

Hi

[@lukasmiller486]

I hope Eliza outlived Mr. Bounderby. Then she could remarry someone who truly loved and respected her, start a family and enjoy a real relationship.
