The People Of The Abyss

Beschreibung

The People of the Abyss (1903) is a book by Jack London about existence in the East End of London in 1902. He composed this direct record by living in the East End (counting the Whitechapel District) for a very long time, some of the time remaining in workhouses or dozing in the city. The circumstances he encountered and expounded on were equivalent to those persevered by an expected 500,000 of the contemporary London poor.

Autor

John Griffith "Jack" London (1876 - 1916) was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North" and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen" and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
