Excerpt from Jack, Vol. 2

IN the middle of the forge, an immense hall-like room, imposing as a temple, where the daylight enters in yellow and luminous bars, and the shadows of the corners are suddenly illuminated by vivid ﬂashes of red, an enormous piece of iron fastened to the ground, opens like some ever ravenous jaw, always in motion, seizing and press ing the red-hot metal fashioned by the hammer, amid a shower of sparks. This is the Screw.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a reflective memoir written in the late 19th century by an adult Jack looking back on his teenage years. The author spent his formative years in an industrial town learning a trade due to the wishes of his guardian who placed him as an apprentice in an ironworks factory. He describes in detail the harsh conditions of working in the iron industry and the often difficult relationships between workers and managers. The memoir shines a light on the brutality and monotony of the work as well as the daily humiliations suffered by the author. While the author's time at the factory is central to the narrative, the book also delves into his relationships with his mother and other adults in his life and how they both help and hinder him. The book also includes insights into the author's interests in literature and philosophy which provided a brief respite from the harsh realities of the ironworks. At its core, this book is an insightful look at the social inequalities present during the industrial revolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781333068745_0
