Description

Explore a unique chapter of American history with The Road (Subterranean Lives) from Rutgers University Press. This book examines the life of Jack London, who in 1894 left California on a ten thousand-mile journey after quitting his job as a coal shoveler. His personal odyssey serves as a window into the larger migrations of millions of people during the original great depression of the 1890s. Through the lens of London's experiences, readers learn about the formation of the hobo subculture. This community emerged as a direct result of the new urban industrial order, creating a way of life that both reflected and challenged the society of the time. This historical biography offers a look at the desperation and adventure that defined a generation of wayfarers. This edition is a used book in good condition, making it an accessible choice for readers interested in historical biographies and the social history of the early 20th century. It provides a deep look into the lives of those who lived on the fringes of industrial society.
