In this 1903 publication, which influenced later socially minded authors like George Orwell, American writer Jack London (1876–1916) examines the living conditions of the impoverished residents of London's East End, demonstrating how politics had failed the vulnerable. The text is illustrated with photographs of the places and people mentioned.
