The people of the abyss
London, Jack, 1876-19162021
Book
In 1902, Jack London traveled to England to live in the slums of London's East End. Hoping to learn about the lives and experiences of the city's working class, he spent three months staying in workhouses, sleeping on the streets, and lodging with a poor family in the area. Drawing on his own experience as a working-class American, and informed by his dedicated understanding of socialism, London recorded what he saw of the lives of London's poor, the hundreds of thousands of humans held back from the nation's progress toward modernization.
