Présentation de l'éditeur :
The first great English novel about the class war, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is spiked, witty, humorous, instructive and full of excitement, harmony and pathos. Alan Sillitoe
Some books seem to batter their way to immortality against all the odds, by sheer brute artistic strength, and high up in this curious and honourable company must be counted The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. Robert Tressell s unfailing humour mixes with an unfailing rage and the two together make a truly Swiftian impact. Evening Standard
Robert Tressell has complete familiarity with the idiom of his characters. His language is bizarre, vital, highly inventive and precisely heard it is a complete and living archaeology of the speech of a particular human group. A brilliant and very funny book. Spectator
--Alan Sillitoe"The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" is a classic of working class literature. It provides a comprehensive picture of social, political, economic and cultural life in Britain at a time when socialism was beginning to gain ground, and the Labour Party was founded and began to win seats in the House of Commons.
The hero, Frank Owen, believes that trades people are the true philanthropists sustaining society and that the capitalist system is the source of the poverty he sees all around him. In vain he tries to convince his fellow workers of his world view, but finds that their education has trained them to distrust their own thoughts and to rely on those of their "betters". Tressell's novel is as timely today as when it was first published in 1914.
