eBooks di Arthur Morrison editi da Epembabooks

Scrittore e giornalista inglese, membro della Royal Society of Literature dal 1924. La sua produzione è caratterizzata da uno stile semplice ma eclettico capace di adattarsi perfettamente ad ogni dimensione della sua multiforme opera. Sebbene la sua notorietà sia legata strettamente ai romanzi realisti ambientati nei quartieri popolari di Londra, di cui l’autore descrive fedelmente la miseria e la violenza (fra tutti ricordiamo la trilogia Tales of Mean Streets, A Child of the Jago, To London Town), le detective stories rappresentano un vero fiore all’occhiello della sua produzione. In queste Morrison riesce a mistificare i temi caratteristici della sua intera produzione, rendendoli appetibili anche tra quanti rifuggivano al tempo le polemiche legate alle questioni sociali.

A Child of the Jago (Annotated). E-book. Formato EPUB Arthur Morrison   -  Epembabooks, 2023  - 

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Poverty in London during the splendorous Victorian EraOriginally published in 1896, “A Child of the Jago” is a novel by English author Arthur Morrison, a bestseller in its time.“A Child of the Jago” tells the story of Dick Perrot, born and bred in the Jago; but it is also a brilliant portrait of the community. The Jago is a London slum where crime and violence are the only way of life, and from which there is no escape for the inhabitants.Only the characters themselves are fictional: Morrison's descriptions of the fearful physical conditions are based directly on what he saw. He conjures up an extraordinarily vivid picture of a world which, even as he wrote, was about to vanish in one of the first of the slum clearance schemes. Actually, the Old Jago was a fictionalisation of the Old Nichol, a slum located between Shoreditch High Street and Bethnal Green Road in the East End of London.
