Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series,
designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these
delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
Coketown is dominated by the figure of Mr Thomas Gradgrind, school
headmaster and model of Utilitarian success. Feeding both his
pupils and family with facts, he bans fancy and wonder from any
young minds. As a consequence his obedient daughter Louisa marries
the loveless businessman and 'bully of humanity' Mr Bounderby, and
his son Tom rebels to become embroiled in gambling and robbery.
And, as their fortunes cross with those of free-spirited circus
girl Sissy Jupe and victimized weaver Stephen Blackpool, Gradgrind
is eventually forced to recognize the value of the human heart in
an age of materialism and machinery.
