Tiempos difíciles
'Tiempos difíciles' Summary
En la ciudad industrial de Coketown, donde las fábricas humeantes dominan el horizonte, el Sr. Gradgrind, un ferviente creyente en la lógica y la utilidad, educa a sus hijos en una rígida disciplina y la eliminación de la emoción. Entre sus alumnos se encuentran Tom, un joven que sucumbe a la influencia de la sociedad, y Louisa, una mujer cuyo corazón está atrapado en un matrimonio sin amor. La novela sigue el destino de estos personajes, afectados por las condiciones opresivas del sistema industrial. La historia también narra la lucha por la supervivencia de los trabajadores en las fábricas, el sufrimiento de los niños expuestos al trabajo infantil y las dificultades de la pobreza. A pesar de la oscuridad que envuelve a Coketown, Dickens introduce personajes como el humilde y compasivo Stephen Blackpool y la joven y romántica Sissy Jupe, que representan la esperanza y la bondad humana. La novela es un llamado a la compasión y la justicia social, exigiendo un cambio en un sistema que explota a los débiles y empobrece a los más vulnerables.Book Details
