Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In 1888 Jack the Ripper made the headlines with a series of horrific murders that remain unsolved to this day. But most killers are not shadowy figures stalking the streets with a lust for blood. Many are ordinary citizens driven to the ultimate crime by circumstance, a fit of anger or a desire for revenge. Their crimes, overshadowed by the few, sensational cases, are ignored, forgotten or written off. This book examines all the known murders in London in 1888 to build a picture of society. Who were the victims? How did they live, and how did they die? Why did a husband batter his wife to death after she failed to get him a cup of tea? How many died under the wheels of a horse-driven cab? Just how dangerous was London in 1888? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Condizione: As New. : En 1888, Jack el Destripador acaparó los titulares con una serie de horribles asesinatos que siguen sin resolverse hasta el día de hoy. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los asesinos no son figuras sombrías que acechan en las calles con sed de sangre, sino ciudadanos comunes impulsados por las circunstancias, la ira o la venganza. Este libro examina todos los asesinatos conocidos en Londres durante aquel año para construir un retrato detallado de la sociedad victoriana.A través de una investigación exhaustiva, Peter Stubley explora quiénes fueron las víctimas, cómo vivían y cómo murieron, ofreciendo una visión cruda y realista de la peligrosidad de Londres en 1888. Más allá de los casos sensacionalistas, la obra rescata del olvido otras tragedias cotidianas, analizando la violencia en la sociedad de la época y revelando aspectos poco conocidos de la vida urbana en el siglo XIX.
