His adventure was an exaggerated version of the unemployed migrations made by millions of boys, men, and a few women during the original "great depression of the 1890's. By taking to the road, young wayfarers like London forged a vast hobo subculture that was both a product of the new urban industrial order and a challenge to it. As London's experience suggests, this hobo world was born of equal parts desperation and fascination. "I went on 'The Road,'" he writes, "because I couldn't keep away from it . . . Because I was so made that I couldn't work all my life on 'one same shift'; because-well, just because it was easier to than not to." The best stories that London told about his hoboing days can be found in The Road, a collection of nine essays with accompanying illustrations, most of which originally appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1907 and 1908. His virile persona spoke to white middle-class readers who vicariously escaped their desk-bound lives and followed London down the hobo trail. The zest and humor of his tales, as Todd DePastino explains in his lucid introduction, often obscure their depth and complexity. The Road is as much a commentary on London's disillusionment with wealth, celebrity, and the literary marketplace as it is a picaresque memoir of his youth.Authors, American20th centuryUnited StatesBiographyPrisonersUnited StatesBiographyTrampsUnited StatesBiographyRailroad travelUnited StatesVagrancyAuthors, AmericanPrisonersTrampsRailroad travelVagrancy813/.52BLondon Jackauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut193071DePastino Toddedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910777799403321Road25853UNINA02106nam 2200493 450 991075849190332120230701060418.09780745343105(CKB)26621042400041(MiAaPQ)EBC7130371(Au-PeEL)EBL7130371(ScCtBLL)33874944-2e74-47ce-a83d-6c04a29c1707(EXLCZ)992662104240004120230701d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Silences of Dispossession Agrarian Change and Indigenous Politics in Argentina /Mercedes BioccaFirst edition.London, England :Pluto Press,[2023]©20231 online resource (146 pages)9780745343068 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Glossary -- 1.
