More about the book

Offering a vivid portrayal of London's street life in the 1840s, this work combines meticulous research with elements of voyeurism. Originally published as newspaper articles, it presents a compelling sociological survey that captures the struggles and resilience of the city's denizens. Acclaimed by William Makepeace Thackeray as a "tale of terror and wonder," the narrative evokes a spectrum of emotions, showcasing the stark realities of human existence in a bustling metropolis.
