More about the book
The book presents a vivid portrait of London's street life in the 1840s, drawing from a series of newspaper articles published in the Morning Chronicle. It blends groundbreaking sociology with a voyeuristic lens, capturing the complexities of urban existence. Renowned author William Makepeace Thackeray praised it as a "tale of terror and wonder," highlighting its unique ability to evoke a range of emotions—from awe to pity—through its detailed exploration of human experiences in the city.
