Book Synopsis Street Life in London by : Adolphe Smith
Download or read book Street Life in London written by Adolphe Smith and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street Life in London (1877-78), by journalist Adolphe Smith and photographer John Thomson, aimed to reveal by the innovative use of photography and essays the conditions of a life of poverty in London. Now regarded as a pioneering photo-text and a foundational work of socially conscious photography - "one of the most significant and far-reaching photobooks in the medium's history" (The Photobook: A History) - Street Life in London failed to achieve commercial success in its own time. In this groundbreaking book, we see the start, but not the conclusion, of a conversation between text and image in the service of education, reportage and social justice. This newly designed and typeset edition contains the full text and makes available to a contemporary audience Thomson's powerful images in their original size and rich colour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Labour of the People in London, Vol. 2: Streets and Population Classified IN passing from the special study of East London to a review of the whole Metropolis the method of inquiry into the condition of the people was slightly changed. In dealing with East London (and afterwards with Central London and Battersea) the unit taken was the family. In extending over the larger area the street has been substituted as a working basis. Instead of noting the number of children going to school from each household with the employment and social position of its head, we have contented ourselves with stating the number of children street by street, dividing them as to class according to what is known of the parents, but giving only general partien lars of the occupations. The result is, that the division of the population according to the conditions under which they live has been maintained, but that according to employment has been dropped.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of London Life, Vol. 1 of 2 The interest which continues to be felt in everything connected with metropolitan society and manners, in conjunction with the remark able success which his previous works on similar subjects has met with, has induced the Author to present the public with two more volumes illustrative of London Life.

Book Synopsis Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky by : Patrick Hamilton
Download or read book Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky written by Patrick Hamilton and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NYRB Classics presents 3 darkly humorous, atmospheric novellas of love and disappointment, set in a run-down London pub after WWI—from the author of the Hitchcock classics Gaslight and Rope. “Bleak and brilliant. . . an authentic lost classic.” —The Guardian Featuring a Dickensian cast of pubcrawlers, prostitutes, lowlifes, and just plain losers who are looking for love—or just an ear to bend—Hamilton’s novels are a triumph of deft characterization, offbeat humor, unlikely compassion, and raw suspense. In recent years, Hamilton has undergone a remarkable revival, with his champions including Doris Lessing, David Lodge, Nick Hornby, and Sarah Waters. Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky is a tale of obsession and betrayal that centers on a seedy pub in a run-down part of London. Bob the waiter skimps and saves and fantasizes about writing a novel, until he falls for the pretty prostitute Jenny and blows it all. Kindly Ella, Bob’s co-worker, adores Bob, but is condemned to enjoy nothing more than the attentions of the insufferable Mr. Eccles; Jenny, out on the street, is out of love, hope, and money. We watch with pity and horror as these three vulnerable and yet compellingly ordinary people meet and play out bitter comedies of longing and frustration. Included: The Midnight Bell (1929) The Siege of Pleasure (1932) The Plains of Cement (1934)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up and Down the London Streets As we had the honour to be born within the sound of Bow bells, a fellow-citizen of Sir Thomas More, John Milton, Alexander Pope, and Johnny Gilpin, we have, e'en from our boyish days, ' taken pleasure to seek in books and odd places the story of Old London City; and having come to the belief that what has had for us so many attrae tions might possibly be made to interest others, we have compiled the following pages; and we desire it to be understood, that we only ask recog nition for our industry, and not commendation for any original discoveries. We have freely gleaned from antiquaries, poets, historians, and compilers who have preceded us, thereby creating, mayhap, a desire for more knowledge of the old City.

Of these men and women who pass and repass me in the crowded street, one is an only son, on whose progress in life his bereaved mother has staked her happiness; another is the ne'er-do-weel husband of' a spirit-broken, but still loving wife; a third is a husband that is to be; a fourth' is the father of a big hungry family-every one, from peer to beggar, is the living centre of some social scheme. They are all so much alike, and yet so widely different; their stories are so wonderfully similar in their broad outlines, and yet So strangely unlike in their minute particulars. Just as one man's face is like another's, so is the story of his life no two faces are exactly alike, yet all have many points in common.
