这是 Jack London 关于1902年伦敦东区（East End）生活的著作。他记录了自己在东区生活数月的亲身经历，寄居在济贫院或露宿街头。他所经历并写下的生存状况，正是当时维系伦敦约50万穷苦人口生计的真实写照。

如果你想了解更多19世纪伦敦的生活，你应该读读杰克·伦敦的《深渊居民》（The People of the Abyss）https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_of_the_Abyss。这是他在伦敦东区白教堂生活两个月的第一手记录。
If you want to read more about life in 1800s London, you should read The People of the Abyss by Jack London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_of_the_Abyss It's his first-hand account of spending two living in Whitechapel, East London.
《巴黎伦敦落魄记》（Down and Out in Paris and London）算是奥威尔被高估得比较厉害的作品之一。他确实有过那样的亲身经历，但这个构想基本是借鉴了杰克·伦敦名气小得多的《深渊居民》（People of the Abyss）。
"Down and Out in Paris and London" is one of Orwell's more overrated books. He did have lived experience of it, but the idea was basically taken from Jack London's "People of the Abyss" which is much lesser known.
同理，杰克·伦敦的《深渊居民》（People of the Abyss）也是。

……要是有某种劳动健康与安全法规、限制童工，或者除济贫院里的苦役之外有一套运转良好的福利体系，那地方本来会惬意得多。你看了我之前发的《深渊居民》（People of the Abyss）的链接了吗？里面有些内容看得人毛骨悚然：我在威德尼斯的沙利文工厂打工，也就是大家熟知的英国碱业化学工厂。我当时在一个棚屋里干活，必须穿过……
…would've been a much more pleasant place with some sort of health and safety law, restrictions on child labour or a functioning welfare system other than slave labour in the poor house. Did you read the People of the Abyss link that I posted earlier? There's some scary stuff in there: I worked at Sullivan's place in Widnes, better known as the British Alkali Chemical Works. I was working in a shed, and I had to cross the…
我对《深渊居民》（People of the Abyss）怎么推荐都不为过。在古腾堡计划（Gutenberg）上可以免费看：http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1688 “审判之日！远超他的想象。大地上到处响起饥饿的号哭，来自贫民窟，来自乡间，……

……触手可及的感觉好到无法言表。过去几周我读了好多好多书。每周一两本（上周读了儒勒·凡尔纳的《奇怪的遗嘱》，前周读了杰克·伦敦的《深渊居民》和凡尔纳的《蒸气屋》）。我还有一整大书架的纸质书要读 :) 仔细想想，反正我大部分时间也都在阅读（看大量的杂志、博客……
…a touch away is really too great to explain. I've read many, many books over the last weeks. One or two a week (last week, Jules Verne' "le testament d'un excentrique", the week before Jack London's" people of the abyss" and Verne's "la maison à vapeur"). And I still have a huge shelf of paper books to read :) Thinking of it, I probably spend most of my time reading something anyway (I read tons of magazines, blogs,…
