Krátky popis
The Lonely Londoners, an unforgettable account of immigrant
experience and one of the great twentieth-century London novels,
now in in a stunning Clothbound Classics edition. At Waterloo
Station, hopeful new arrivals from the West Indies step off the
boat train, ready to start afresh in 1950s London. There, homesick
Moses Aloetta, who has already lived in the city for years, meets
Henry 'Sir Galahad' Oliver and shows him the ropes.In this strange,
cold and foggy city where the natives can be less than friendly at
the sight of a black face, has Galahad met his Waterloo? But the
irrepressible newcomer cannot be cast down. He and all the other
lonely new Londoners - from shiftless Cap to Tolroy, whose family
has descended on him from Jamaica - must try to create a new life
for themselves. As pessimistic 'old veteran' Moses watches their
attempts, they gradually learn to survive and come to love the
heady excitements of London.
