A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In 1902, Jack London purchased some secondhand clothes, rented a room in the East End, and set out to discover how the London poor lived. His research makes shocking reading. Moving through the slums as one of the poor; eating, drinking and socializing with the underclass; queuing to get into a doss-house, London was scandalized and brutalized by the experience of living rough in Britain's capital. His clear-eyed reflections on the iniquities of class are a shaming testament to the persistence of social inequality in modern Britain.

Biographie de l'auteur :

American novelist Jack London (1876-1916) is today best remembered for The 'Call of the Wild', 'White Fang' and his numerous other tales of travel and adventure. Alexander Masters's debut work, 'Stuart: A Life Backwards', won the 2005 Guardian First Book Award.
