Finnish Kadotuksen kansa: Kuvaus Lontoon East Endistä E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Kadotuksen kansa: Kuvaus Lontoon East Endistä" by Jack London is a social commentary written in the early 20th century. The work offers a harrowing insight into the life of the impoverished populace of East London, focusing on the struggles and harsh realities faced by the working class. Through the eyes of London, the author explores themes of poverty, survival, and social injustice, creating a vivid portrait of a world marked by despair and hopelessness. The opening of the work introduces readers to London's journey into the depths of East London, illustrating his intent to observe and understand the lives of its residents firsthand. He discusses the skepticism he faces from his acquaintances when he expresses his desire to immerse himself in the raw realities of the area. As he enters the dilapidated streets filled with destitute individuals rummaging for food, he is struck by the overwhelming presence of poverty and suffering. The narrative captures his transformation as he disguises himself in the rags of the poor, allowing him to truly connect with them, and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the systemic issues that perpetuate their struggles.
