Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
At the crossroads of personal journey and societal critique, 'THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SUPER-TRAMP' stands as a compelling anthology that transcends mere autobiography to reflect on the broader human condition. This collection marries varied literary styles, from the incisive social commentary of Bernard Shaw to the poignant, lyrical reflections of W. H. Davies, constructing a rich tapestry of life at the edges of society.

The backgrounds of Bernard Shaw, a dramatist known for his sharp critique of social injustices, and W. H. Davies, a poet with firsthand experience of tramp life, enrich this collection immensely.
