The Nether World by George Gissing
"The Nether World" by George Gissing is a novel written in 1889. Set in the slums of Victorian London, it follows several impoverished families struggling with unemployment, desperate living conditions, and broken dreams. When Michael Snowdon returns from Australia with a hidden fortune, he hopes to use it for charity through his granddaughter Jane. But family scheming, thwarted ambitions, and failed relationships threaten his plans. This naturalistic portrait of working-class life offers
an unflinching look at poverty's grip, where hopes fade and survival itself becomes uncertain. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
