Hard cover book. The People of The Abyss Author: Jack London Publisher: Thomas Nelson & Sons Date: 1903 Further Information: A plain volume bound in pale blue cloth, with a stuck-on library classification label ("PAT FIC LON") on the spine and no visible date, edition statement, or printer's imprint on the pages shown the copyright/date page. There's no gilt decoration, no illustrated boards, and no dust jacket. fictionIn the summer of 1902, Jack London disguised himself as a stranded American sailor and spent about six to seven weeks living among the poor of London's East End, sleeping in workhouses, doss-houses and on the street, and living for a time with a poor family in Whitechapel. These conditions were shared by roughly five hundred thousand working-class people at the time. The resulting book, published in 1903, is an immersive, first-person exposé of poverty, hunger, homelessness and the failures of social and government institutions in the world's wealthiest city at the height of the British Empire. In the book's conclusion, London blamed the deprivation on the incompetence of the governing institutions, calling out 'the political machine' managing the country. It combines reportage, statistics and personal narrative, and was illustrated with photographic plates documenting the conditions he witnessed.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, the people of the abyss, jack london
