Publisher's Summary

From poverty to resilience: a powerful exploration of the human spirit.

Through a masterful combination of social commentary, investigative journalism, and autobiographical work, in The People of the Abyss, Jack London chronicles the living conditions and hardships endured by the impoverished residents in the East End of London, England, during the late 19th century.

With an engaging and emotionally intense narrative, London highlights the stark imbalance of power and admires the resilience and ingenuity of the abyss-dwellers in finding small ways to endure life.

As shadows whisper secrets, Jack London ventures into the abyss, where survival hangs by a thread, and the most profound revelations lie in ominous anticipation.
