Cover of Jack London: The People of the Abyss (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

Disguised as a down-on-his-luck American sailor, Jack London spent six weeks in the summer of 1902 living in London’s East End and studying slum life. Based on his firsthand experience, The People of the Abyss is his exposé of the misery and degrading conditions he found there.

About the author

Jack London (1876-1916) was born in San Francisco, the illegitimate son of a music teacher whose lover spurned her after she refused an abortion. His writings dealt with his social activism and care for the worker. Largely self-educated, London became a sailor, a hobo, a gold miner, and a socialist—all of which would find their way into his fiction.
