The shortest of his novels, it is set in Coke town, a fictitious Victorian industrial town inspired by Preston in the North of England. It tells the story of the family of Thomas Grad grind, a man obsessed with misguided ‘Utilitarian’ values that make him trust facts, statistics and practicality over emotion.\u003cbr\u003e\nBased on James Mill (the Utilitarian leader), Grad grind raises his own children, Louisa and Tom, in line with these same views. The novel has been frequently adapted for film, stage and television.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509849017\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.2 x 5.2 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACMILLAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51207360151856,"sku":"VarietyBook_9781509849017","price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/611hhEgb-IL.jpg?v=1773978747","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/hard-times-6","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
