En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the rigid educational philosophy of Thomas Gradgrind, the narrative explores the consequences of valuing facts over emotions. Set in the industrial city of Coketown, the story highlights the struggles of Gradgrind's children, Tom and Louisa, as they grapple with their father's oppressive beliefs. The novel critiques societal norms surrounding factory work and education, reflecting Dickens' own marital difficulties through themes of family discord and unhappiness. Despite its initial unpopularity, it has become a significant work in Dickens' oeuvre.
