People of the Abyss, By Jack London, 1903

A travelogue with a difference! In 1902 the American novelist Jack London went underground in England's capital, to provide an eye-witness narrative of the shocking squalor of the  notorious East End. He found that for the poor and criminal classes, little had changed since the grim days of Queen Victoria's reign. The first edition sold out with twenty four hours. 

Jack London's evocative narrative is offered here unabridged, enhanced with hyperlinks, period illustrations, maps & biographical notes. PDF version features mock parchment paper effect.
