English to Spanish: Hard Times Dickens Novel
Source text - English Hard Times is perhaps the archetypal Dickens novel, full as it is with family difficulties, estrangement, rotten values and unhappiness. It was published in 1854 and it is the story of the family of Thomas Gradgrind (perhaps the archetypal Dickens name) and occurs in the imaginary Coketown, an industrial city inspired by Preston. Gradgrind is a man obsessed with misguided ‘Utilitarian’ values that make him trust facts, statistics and practicality more than emotion and is based upon James Mill (the Utilitarian leader). He directs his own children, Louisa and Tom, in this same way: enforcing an artless existence upon them. For instance, he makes Louisa marry Josiah Bounderby who is three decades her elder. Her only love is really for her brother who is in Bounderby’s employ. The cynical James Harthouse arrives and attempts to seduce her but she is inspired by the experience to escape her constricted life and her imagination takes over. Her father becomes aware of the nonsense of his own schemes and he protects his daughter from her husband. Not everything is cleared up, though, and Tom steals from the bank and dishonestly tries to shift the blame. He does so successfully for a time but eventually gets found out and must leave the country.

Fue publicada en 1854, es la historia de la familia de Thomas Gradgrind (tal vez el arquetipo de nombre de Dickens) y ocurre en el imaginario Coketown, una ciudad industrial inspirada por Preston. Gradgrind es un hombre obsesionado con valores "Utilitaristas" equivocados, que hacen de el un inversionista de valores, estadista y practico mas que emotivo, personalidad basada en James Mill (el leader utilitarista). El encamino sus hijos, Louisa y Tom, en la misma direccion: con una impositiva y simplista existencia sobre ellos. Por ejemplo, el decidio el matrimonio de Louisa con Josiah Bounderby,un hombre 3 decadas mayor que ella. El unico amor de ella realmente es por su hermano, que es un empleado de Bounderby. El cinico James Harthouse aparece e intenta seducirla, pero ella esta inspirada por la experiencia de escapar de su restringida vida y su imaginacion va mas alla. Su padre gana consciencia del sinsentido de sus propios esquemas y ls protege de su marido. Sin embargo, nada es aclarado, y Tom roba el banco y en forma deshonesta trata de culpar a otra persona. El logro tener exito durante un tiempo, pero al final es descubierto y tiene que abandonar el pais.
