eBooks di Arthur Morrison editi da Passerino

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. E-book. Formato EPUB Arthur Morrison   -  Passerino, 2021  - 

A Child of the Jago is an 1896 novel by Arthur Morrison. A bestseller in its time, it recounts the brief life of Dicky Perrott, a child growing up in the "Old Jago", a fictionalisation of the Old Nichol, a slum located between Shoreditch High Street and Bethnal Green Road in the East End of London. The late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing, who read the novel on Christmas Day 1896, felt that it was "poor stuff". Arthur George Morrison (1 November 1863 – 4 December 1945) was an English writer and journalist known for his realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End, and for his detective stories, featuring the detective Martin Hewitt. He also collected Japanese art and published several works on the subject. He left a large collection of paintings and other works of art to the British Museum after his death in 1945. Morrison's best known work of fiction is his novel A Child of the Jago (1896).
