作为狄更斯对维多利亚时代工业社会及其被误用的功利主义哲学的尖锐刻画,Hard Times 塑造了校长 Thomas Gradgrind 这一其笔下最丰满立体、令人难忘的人物之一。全书不仅充满小镇生活的细节与奇观,也是一部大胆的观念小说,并在终局处歌颂了爱、希望以及想象力的无限可能。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……地方(《魔戒》第一卷的第二章绝对是整本书里最烂的部分),但查尔斯·狄更斯的不少作品也半斤八两。我超爱《远大前程》,但看《艰难时世》(Hard Times)那种赶工行活儿还是会忍不住皱眉……没人尝试把那部改编成电影可不是没原因的。

    …places (the second chapter of the first volume of LOTR is easily the worst part of the whole book), but then so's a lot of Charles Dickens' work. I love Great expectations but still wince at the hackery of Hard Times...there's a reason nobody even tried to make a movie out of that one.

  • ……把自己视作其中的一部分。这也困扰了我好些年。雅克·埃吕尔(Jacques Ellul)在《技术社会》(The Technological Society)中对此做了一些阐述。如果你打算读读看,那么先读过查尔斯·狄更斯的《艰难时世》(Hard Times)会很有帮助,能让你切身体会到他谈论维多利亚时代农民社区流离失所时到底在说什么。我们在中国(以及每个“新兴经济体”)都能看到同样的情形,并且似乎习以为常了(也许……

If you consider reading it then it helps to have read Charles Dickens "Hard Times" to get a feel of what he talks about when speaking of the displacement of peasant communities in Victorian times. We see the same thing in China (and every "emerging economy") and seem to accept it (maybe…

  • ……让我们任何人对自己不再那么热忱坚持,对人类的进步不再那么坚信不移,对有幸生活在这个时代的盛夏破晓之时不再那么心怀感激。”——查尔斯·狄更斯。他是从《艰难时世》(Hard Times)开始这一步的——一部对肆无忌惮的资本主义和道德败坏近乎不加掩饰的社会主义批判。它特别针对了埃德温·查德威克(Edwin Chadwick),后者曾协助为耸人听闻的1834年《新济贫法》奠定了马尔萨斯主义基础,但是……

    …any of us less ardently persevering in ourselves, less faithful in the progress of mankind, less thankful for the privilege of living in this summer-dawn of time." Charles Dickens He started this with 'Hard Times' - a thinly veiled socialist critique against unbridled capitalism and immorality.
