Beschreibung

<p><b>Peter Ackroyd, acclaimed historian and critic, uncovers London’s hidden past in this richly illustrated journey through its forgotten streets and stories. </b><br><br>No city shaped the modern world quite like London—a powerhouse of <b>trade, finance, and empire</b>, the centre of global influence in the nineteenth century. But beyond the familiar stories of power and politics, its true life played out in the streets, where <b>market traders, music hall crowds, and factory workers</b> gave it its vitality, its light and its shadows. <br><br><i><b>Forgotten London</b> </i>uncovers these stories, bringing to life the highs and lows of those who made the city what it was. Covering the transformative years from the <b>Victorian era to the Second World War</b>, this book immerses readers in a side of London often overlooked. <br><br>The book is also richly illustrated, featuring <b>rare photographs, colorised images, and period artwork</b>. <br><br><b>With Peter Ackroyd’s masterful storytelling, this is an unforgettable journey into the city’s past. Step into its streets, meet its people—and see London as you’ve never seen it before. </b></p>
