Description

Documenting his two months undercover in the East End of London in 1902, Jack London's 'People of the Abyss' offers a frank and eye-opening account of poverty and drudgery. Disguised as one of the area's inhabitants, London recounts his visits to slums, workhouses, doss-houses, park benches, pubs and coffee-shops.

Through his experiences, London brings to life the voices of the hundreds of thousands of people who called the harsh conditions of the East End home. A raw and unflinching portrayal of life in one of London's poorest areas, 'People of the Abyss' is a powerful exploration of survival and struggle.

Illustrated with over thirty of Jack London's own photographs, this edition provides a unique glimpse into the lives of those living on the margins of society. A thought-provoking and deeply humane work, 'People of the Abyss' remains a relevant and important study of social inequality today.
