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.
关于作者
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.
