Ispirato dalle osservazioni fatte dall’Autore sulle condizioni di vita operaie e gli scioperi scoppiati nella cittadina di Preston, nei pressi di Manchester (in quegli anni già al centro del resoconto di Engels sulla condizione della classe operaia), il libro è ambientato in una città di fantasia, Coketown (la città del coke, del carbone).
Al centro della vicenda il credo di Thomas Grad-grind, un industriale fiducioso “solamente nelle statistiche” e che educa di conseguenza i suoi due figli, Louisa e Tom, dei quali reprime con metodo ogni lato fantasioso e idealistico.
La figlia, difatti, viene data in sposa a un altro avido capitalista della cittadina, Josiah Bounderby, un tipo avaro e impostore, di ben trent’anni più anziano della ragazza. Lei accetta, fino all’amaro epilogo, quando, ritornata dal padre, questi si renderà conto della follia del suo sistema educativo.
