{"product_id":"9781843914501","title":"The People of the Abyss","description":"A profound and moving piece of investigative journalism, Jack London's study of the London underworld remains, a century after it was written, a timely tale of poverty and injustice. In 1902, Jack London purchased some second-hand clothes, rented a room in the East End, and set out to discover how the London poor lived. His research makes shocking reading. Moving through the slums as one of the poor; eating, drinking and socialising with the underclass; queuing to get into a doss-house, London was scandalised and brutalised by the experience of living rough in Britain's capital. His clear-eyed reflections on the iniquities of class are a shaming testament to the persistence of social inequality in modern Britain.","brand":"Hesperus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037993877744,"sku":"9781843914501","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781843914501_p0.jpg?v=1763742085","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781843914501","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
