The People of the Abyss |

![]()
Jack London lived for a time within the grim and grimy world of the East End of London, where half a million people scraped together hardly enough on which to survive. Even if they were able to work, they were paid only enough to allow them a pitiful existence. He grew to know and empathise with these forgotten (or ignored) people as he spoke with them and tasted the workhouse, life on the streets, … and the food, which was cheap, barely nutritious, and foul. |

Reviewer: Julie - March 11, 2020 Subject: Review People of the Abyss Peter Yearsley did a fantastic job narrating this depressing documentary novel. I listened to the whole book with astonishment of how politics of foreign countries used to be. But it also makes one think - has our world even changed that much in many countries. It’s obvious Jack London was an extremely smart and courageous man. |
Reviewer: JieYu - October 29, 2013 Subject: Disturbing A book which forces one to introspection, beautifully read by Peter Yearsly. |
