Hard Times is Charles Dickens 1854 novel. The story satirizes the social economic times and the prevalence of utilitarianism of the nineteenth century. The book follows Galatians 6:7 in its organization with Sowing, Reaping, and Garnering. The story follows Mr. Graddrind, a school superintendent, in his daily struggles. The man is a hard working whose sole concern is cold hard profitability. As his children's lives fall into disarray he starts to see the error of his belief system. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
