内容简介
Dickens's widely read satirical account of the Industrial
Revolution.
Dickens creates the Victorian industrial city of Coketown, in
northern England, and its unforgettable citizens, such as the
unwavering utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind and the factory owner
Josiah Bounderby, and the result is his famous critique of
capitalist philosophy, the exploitative force he believed was
destroying human creativity and joy. This edition includes new
notes to the text.
