Author: Gordon, RichardTitle: Jack the RipperBinding: HardcoverNumber Of Pages: 288Release Date: 1980Details: In this remarkably shrewd and witty novel, Victorian London is brought to life with a compelling authority. Richard Gordon wonderfully conveys the boisterous, often lusty panorama of life for the very poor – hard, menial work; violence; prostitution; disease. The Private Life of Jack the Ripper is a masterly evocation of the practice of medicine in 1888 – the year of Jack the Ripper. It is also a dark and disturbing medical mystery. Why were his victims so silent? And why was there so little blood?EAN: 9780434302567Package Dimensions: Weight: 1.12 PoundsLanguages: en Show more
