About The People of the Abyss

Different from most of his other works, The People of the Abyss chronicles Jack London's 3-month stay in the slums of East End London in 1902. To gather the information for the book, he lived undercover in some of the worst parts of London, staying in workhouses or sleeping on the streets. At a time when England was a powerful and rich nation, hundreds of thousands were living in abject poverty.
