Chiltern creates the most beautiful editions of the World’s finest literature.
Your favourite classic titles in a way you have never seen them before; the tactile layers, fine details and beautiful colours of these remarkable covers make these titles feel extra special and will look striking on any shelf.
Fact and reason are Thomas Gradgrind’s governing principles; imaginaion and sentiment are to be abhorred. Gradgrind raises his children Tom and Lousia in the same soulless manner, but he will come to realize that his attitudes have blighted their young lives.
In Hard Times, Dickens sets compassion, humanity and imagination against the sterility of cold, hard reason, describing the novel as a satire on ‘those who see figures and averages, and nothing else’.
