Tempi difficili

by Charles Dickens, Bruno Amato (Translator)

Overview

Thomas Grandgrin, come molti suoi contemporanei, ha commesso il tremendo errore di fare della Filosofia dei Dati di Fatto, cioè la filosofia utilitaristica, la teoria guida della propria vita. E solo quando la figlia Louisa, intrappolata in un matrimonio senza amore, diventa preda di un ozioso seduttore, il padre si vede costretto a prendere le distanze dalle proprie convinzioni.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
