Interpretation In Favor Of Books Demiryolu Serserileri

Açlıktan ölmek üzereydim. Ama yine de yiyecek bir şey uzatmak ya da bir sent vermek için açılan bir kapıya diğerleri kadar hızla atılıyordum. O günlerde her şey öylesine ters gidiyordu ki, bir gün tam tren kalkmak üzereyken gardaki görevliyi atlatıp zengin biri için ayrılmış bir kampatımana daldım. Beni engellemeye çalışan görevliyi aşıp karlı bir tavırla zengine adama yaklaştım. Tam görevli üzerime çullanacaktı ki edepli bir biçimde milyonere:

"Yiyecek almak için bana bir çeyrek verin lütfen!" diye haykırdım.

Ve gerçekten adam elini cebine götürdü ve bana tastamam bir çeyrek uzattı. Talebim onu o kada şaşırtmıştı ki, tıpkı bir robot gibi dediğimi yaptı. İşte o zamandan beri neden sanki bir dolar istemedim ki, diye hayıflanmışımdır hep. Çünkü eminim ki isteydim verecekti.

Judge About Books Demiryolu Serserileri

Read "You Can't Win" by Jack Black (not the modern day celebrity, a different guy) if you want the full hobo life experience. This is a watered down version of that. Also this book isn't really a story but more like some anecdotes, short stories, and essays about the life of a young hobo. Really boring stuff... Jack Black's hobo adventures were far superior. Jack Black was a "yegg" which is basically a term for a hobo of elite status in the hobo world.



Like some of the Kerouac works London influenced, but with sociological observations in the place of poetic ones. I had expected an adventure tale about the adventurer himself hopping trains across the US. Its more of a hardass, pre-Gonzo Gonzo journalistic account of the massive underworld of vagrants during the 1890s American depression as they rove by any means necessary from village to prison to village, surviving on cunning, violence, robbery, and an informal political system that had, as

Ive enjoyed several other hobo accounts (such as Jim Tully's great Beggars of Life), and dont know how this had escaped my notice for so long, but I enjoyed it so much I think it may kick off a Jack London binge for me. In these real-life adventures drawn from his tramping days during the depression years of the 1890s, London shares with the reader the fine art of lying and begging for food, the vicious skill of holding ones own amidst the rough handling of wolfish road kids and predatory

Big Rock Candy Mountain ~~ written by Harry McClintockChorus:Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette treesThe soda water fountain where the lemonade springsAnd the bluebird sings in that Big Rock Candy MountainOn a summer dayIn the month of MayA burly bum came ahikingDown a shady laneThrough the sugar caneHe was looking for his likingAs he strolled alongHe sang a songOf the land of milk and honeyWhere a bum can stayFor many a dayAnd he won't need any moneyChorus:In the Big Rock Candy

I've embarked on a project (both academic and personal) to read lots and lots of hobo narratives (both fictional and autobiographical). London's book is often mentioned (by those who bother to talk about such things) as the first literary treatment of the subject, although other writers (e.g., Josiah Flynt) had addressed the subject before. Published in 1907, the book is made up of a series of articles that London published earlier that year (strictly for the money, apparently). The articles are

This was a great book. When I found the free e-book I didn't realize it was an autobiography until I was a few pages in, then did some research on it. That just made it better. Jack London has to be one of the most fascinating figures in American literature.This slim book is a series of vignettes about the time he spent as a train-jumping hobo in his youth. It is a fantastic look into a long-past time and a unique culture. Many of the stories are funny, such as how he would win food or elude the
