Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?' (LEISURE BY W.H. DAVIES) Loneliness and criminality determined William Henry Davies’ childhood and teenage-years. At the age of 22 he decided to leave Wales for America to chance his luck abroad. But getting there was not as easy as expected. At that point in time, he became a tramp. In his best-known work THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SUPER-TRAMP, Davies tells the story of his lifetime. He explains in a very intimate and touching way what it is like to grow up in Great Britain at the end of the 19th century. Furthermore, he describes how he felt during his vagabond life and what made him settle back in the UK. After all, Davies develops into the most popular poet of his time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I hasten to protest at the outset that I have no personal knowledge of the incorrigible super-tramp who wrote this amazing book," is how George Bernard Shaw opens his preface. He was introduced to Davies's writing when he received a volume of poems through the post and was later instrumental in bringing his work to the attention of critics and publishers. At the time he wasn't aware that Davies was a tramp living in a London dosshouse. The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp chronicles the years between 1893 and 1899 when Davies left his home-town, Newport, and spent time drifting, begging and taking on seasonal work in America and Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice, Travels with Lizbeth: Three Years on the Road and on the Streets is Lars Eighner’s account of his descent into homelessness and his adventures on the streets that has moved, charmed, and amused generations of readers. Selected by the New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years “When I began writing this account I was living under a shower curtain in a stand of bamboo in a public park. I did not undertake to write about homelessness, but wrote what I knew, as an artist paints a still life, not because he is especially fond of fruit, but because the subject is readily at hand.” Containing the widely anthologized essay “On Dumpster Diving,” Travels with Lizbeth is a beautifully written account of one man’s experience of homelessness, a story of physical survival, and the triumph of the artistic spirit in the face of enormous adversity. In his unique voice—dry, disciplined, poignant, comic—Eighner celebrates the companionship of his dog, Lizbeth, and recounts their ongoing struggle to survive on the streets of Austin, Texas, and hitchhiking along the highways to Southern California and back. “Lars Eighner is the Thoreau of the Dumpsters. Comparisons to Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Hamsun’s Hunger leap to mind. A classic of down-and-out literature.”—Phillip Lopate, author of Bachelorhood: Tales of the Metropolis “Eighner’s memoir contains the finest first-person writing we have about the experience of being homeless in America. Yet it’s not a dirge or a Bukowski-like scratching of the groin but an offbeat and plaintive hymn to life. It’s the sort of book that releases the emergency brake on your soul...A literate and exceedingly humane document.”—The New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the crossroads of personal journey and societal critique, 'THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SUPER-TRAMP' stands as a compelling anthology that transcends mere autobiography to reflect on the broader human condition. This collection marries varied literary styles, from the incisive social commentary of Bernard Shaw to the poignant, lyrical reflections of W. H. Davies, constructing a rich tapestry of life at the edges of society. The anthology's diversity in narrative voice and literary form provides a multifaceted exploration of what it means to live beyond conventional societal norms, making it a significant contribution to the literary discourse on freedom, poverty, and the quest for meaning. The backgrounds of Bernard Shaw, a dramatist known for his sharp critique of social injustices, and W. H. Davies, a poet with firsthand experience of tramp life, enrich this collection immensely. Their different perspectives converge in a shared thematic space, illuminating the life of the vagabond with both sympathy and critical acuity. This interplay of voices aligns with and contributes to a broader literary conversation about the margins of society, challenging readers to reconsider preconceived notions about homelessness and wanderlust. 'THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SUPER-TRAMP' offers readers a unique opportunity to engage with a spectrum of ideas and experiences, united under the theme of the transient life. The anthology is an educational journey, broadening ones understanding of societal boundaries through the intimate lenses of Shaw and Davies. By presenting a dialogue between different narrative styles and thematic concerns, the collection promises a rich, reflective reading experience, encouraging audience members to explore the depth and diversity of life on the fringe. This anthology is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, social critique, and human resilience.
