Excerpt from Light Freights
He broke off to open a small brass tobacco box and place a little quid of tobacco tenderly into a pouch in his left cheek, critically observing at the same time the efforts of a somewhat large steamer to get alongside the next wharf without blocking up more than three-parts of the river. He watched it as though the entire Operation depended upon his attention, and, the steamer fast, he turned his eyes back again and resumed his theme.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an anthology of short stories that explore the lives of working-class people, especially merchant sailors. The author writes with compassion about the lives and times of these men and their families, offering stories that resonate with the humor and sadness of their everyday lives, as well as the dangers of their often-deadly profession. The author sets the stories against the backdrop of the late 1800s and early 1900s world of the dockyards, boarding houses, and bars of London and Melbourne. The stories capture the spirit of the times, illuminating the difficulties and dilemmas faced by these men, while also touching on broader themes of social justice, class, and the human condition. Through the stories, the author delves into the hardship, poverty, and injustice that was commonplace in the lives of working-class people during this period. These stories shed light on the struggles for survival, both physical and psychological, endured by these individuals, defining the socio-economic tapestry of their time.
