Short Description: An account of the conditions of industries in the 20th century.
Extensive description: In 1902, Jack London traveled to London as a correspondent for the American Press Association to write about life in the East End, the poorest sector of the then largest city in the world. For seven weeks, London lived in the same way that the inhabitants of the area did. Pretending to be an American sailor left to his own devices, he slept in temporary shelters, under bridges, and wandered whole nights in the absence of a roof to shelter in; He suffered hunger and was cold. His record accounts for an open sensitivity to capture the slightest sounds and gestures while his affiliation with socialism leads him to make a fierce criticism of capitalism as an economic system. The People of the Abyss is an unprecedented testimony of the conditions generated by the industrial development of the world powers at the beginning of the 20th century.
