Description
Little treasures, CLASSIC COLLECTION FLAME TREE has been selected to create a stunning and timeless home library. Each dazzling gift edition features luxurious cover finishes, ribbon markers, deluxe inserts, and gilded edges. Accompanying the full text is a Victorian and literary terms glossary created for the modern reader.
"Hard Times" was published in 1854, and the story takes place in northern England in Coketown, a polluted and suffering place with smoky factories and soulless workers oppressed by the cruel and unfeeling Thomas Gradgrind and Josiah Bounderby. The novel was published with mixed reviews; many considered it too bleak at the time. However, many contemporary critics praise the book, calling it an engaging and insightful exploration of Victorian society.
Unique titles and a very wide range of authors reflect Flame Tree Publishing's portfolio.
