A review by woolfardis
Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Kate Flint
5.0
"NOW, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing
but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else,
and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of
reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any
service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own
children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these
children. Stick to Facts, sir!"
The second Dickens novel I fell in love with (after Great Expectations) is closer to my heart for it concerns the working class. Dickens was the man that wrote of the common people and their plights; he was the one that exposed their trials and tribulations to the world. He was the one that made us remember them.
