Описание: The novel opens after midnight on a hot summer night, when many of the residents of the Jago, likened to "great rats", prefer to sleep in the street to avoid the oppressive heat and stench of the closely packed houses. A man lured into a dwelling by a woman is brutally coshed, robbed and dragged unconscious into the street where others remove his boots. Dicky Perrott, 8 or 9 years old (the uncertainty is telling) makes his way home to the single room in which his family dwells, where he finds his mother, Hannah Perrott and flea-bitten baby sister, Looey, but only a crust of bread to eat. As dawn breaks his father, Josh Perrott, returns home with a club sticky with blood and hair, suggesting another robbery.

Описание: This epic, first distributed in 1896, is the narrative of Dick Perrot, brought up in the Jago; however it is likewise a splendid representation of the network. The Jago is a London ghetto where wrongdoing and viciousness are the main lifestyle, and from which there will never be a way out for the occupants. Just the characters themselves are anecdotal: Morrison's portrayals of the frightful physical conditions depend straightforwardly on what he saw. He evokes a phenomenally distinctive image of a world which, even as he composed, was going to disappear in one of the first of the ghetto freedom plans.(This book is available for lending.)

Описание: This novel, first published in 1896, is the story of Dick Perrot, born and bred in the Jago; but it is also a brilliant portrait of the community. The Jago is a London slum where crime and violence are the only way of life, and from which there is no escape for the inhabitants. Only the characters themselves are fictional: Morrison's descriptions of the fearful physical conditions are based directly on what he saw. He conjures up an extraordinarily vivid picture of a world which, even as he wrote, was about to vanish in one of the first of the slum clearance schemes.

Returning home he proudly hands it to his father, who beats him for stealing but keeps the watch to sell for himself.Two families, the Ranns and the Learys, dominate the Jago, and one of their periodic violent confrontations breaks out. Sally Green, of the Leary clan, whose method of fighting is to hold down her opponent and chew viciously on the back of the neck, triumphs over the Rann's female champion, Nora Walsh, and proudly displays a bunch of her clotted hair as a trophy
