Críticas:

'''Jack jumped in a hansom cab and demanded the driver inject him into the slums of London among the starved and depraved population'... On every page, he bursts his shirt buttons with fury and astonishment.' --Alexander Masters

Reseña del editor:

In 1902, Jack London purchased some secondhand clothes, rented a room in the East End, and set out to discover how the London poor lived. His research makes shocking reading. Moving through the slums as one of the poor; eating, drinking, and socializing with the underclass; lining up to get into a flophouse, London was scandalized and brutalized by the experience of living rough in Britain’s capital. His clear-eyed reflections on the iniquities of class are a shaming testament to the persistence of social inequality in modern times.
