A review by amittaizero
The People of the Abyss by Jack London

4.0

Jack London = BAMF. The man usually remembered as a writer of easily abridged adventure stories was also a fierce social critic and activist. London descends into the slums of the British Empire to live and learn the conditions there. His approach is incredibly modern: he uses anecdotes, sociological data, court records, etc. to draw a comprehensive picture of extreme social and economic injustice.
