Both devastating and funny, The Lonely Londoners is an unforgettable account of immigrant experience - and one of the great twentieth-century London novels 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. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Susheila Nasta. 'His Lonely Londoners has acquired a classics status since it appeared in 1956 as the definitive novel about London's West Indians' Financial Times 'The unforgettable picaresque ... a vernacular comedy of pathos' Guardian

Here are the voices of London - rich and poor, native and immigrant, women and men - witnessed by Craig Taylor, an acclaimed journalist, playwright and writer, who spent five years exploring the city and listening to its residents. From the woman whose voice announces the stations on the London Underground to the man who plants the trees along Oxford Street; from a Pakistani currency trader to a Guardsman at Buckingham Palace - together, these voices and many more, paint a vivid, epic and wholly fresh portrait of Twenty-First Century London.

A number of lives captured at a particular time creates a record that enables us to see just how the circumstances of Londoners are changing and evolving, though perhaps for the luckiest or unluckiest few, nothing ever seems to change very much. In addition to addressing the question, 'WHERE do we live?', perhaps the most obvious dimension of Londoners at Home, the project goes on to consider, through 64 topics, 'WHO do we live with?', 'WHAT do we do?', 'WHENCE did we come?', and 'HOW are we different?' and a wide variety of sitters has contributed to the substantial commentary that now offers extensive and illuminating answers to these existential questions. However, Londoners at Home always aimed to comprise wholly non-judgmental observations of some of the denizens of our vast, capital city and the accumulated images and stories have, as was originally hoped, built into a fascinating tableau of the way we Londoners live now, in the second decade of the 21st century. The Photographer, Milan Svanderlik, is a veteran observer of the extraordinary diversity and beauty of nature, people and life in general. Londoners at Home: The Way We Live Now is the final part of a major project, The London Trilogy. Part I, 100 Faces of London, was exhibited in central London in 2012, with Part II, Outsiders in London, following in 2015. Gerald Stuart Burnett was born to émigré Scottish parents in a small Cheshire market town. Graduating from the University of Stirling, he went on to the University of Nottingham before pursuing a long career in the Education Service. Gerald's project role has been primarily as editor, painstakingly reworking the text of each 'story' into its current form.

The Londoners, by Mr. Robert Hichens, is the lightest of souffl�s, happily exempt from the fuzzy-wuzzy satire which flecked "The Green Carnation " and the morbid psychology which blended so inharmoniously with the cleverness of "Flames." Here Mr. Hichens wears the cap and bells, and with as good a grace, be it said, as did Mr. Pinero in "The Magistrate '' or Mr. Jones in "The Rogue's Comedy." Indeed, he reopens the question whether society farces are not as effective between book covers as on the stage. Certainly there is a finer exhilaration, for the same money, in The Londoners, read at a single sitting, than in the horse-play of such a "farce' as one is likely just now to see in a New York theatre. Not only does the house party at Ascot give rise to interplay of brilliant wit, but there are situations ranging from comic to burlesque which are quite as satisfying to one's stage eye, and as provocative of laughter, as if they were visibly presented. The leading personages are Mrs. Verulam, who wished to get out of London society, and Mrs. Huskinson Van Adam, an American divorc�e, who wished to get into it, and had like to have gratified both her friend's and her own ambition by appearing in male attire. Her efforts at young mannishness and Mrs. Verulam's demure acquiescence with scandal are most amusing. Mr. and Mrs. Lite, who rented their establishment to Mrs. Verulam during race week for the glory that would accrue to the "buns" which had brought them a fortune, and indeed to Mrs. Lite the sobriquet of "the raised pie'' because of her changed social condition, were put to infinite anxiety for the welfare of their parrots, their four pugs -- Dinah, Sam, Gog, and Magog -- and their orchestrion; and neither field-glasses nor detectives nor a brace of blundering servants could keep the unwelcome guests from "a rolling of the jerryaneeums and a rooting up of the roses." From this, and the fact that within fifty pages both Chloe seated herself in the darkness on a large cactus, and that pink of propriety, Rodney, reclined on a bed of angry nettles, as previously, at a stereopticon lecture, he had inadvertently sat down in a duchess's lap, may be inferred the thoroughness with which Mr. Hichens has studied horticultural discomforts and their accessibility to the awkward. Much delicacy and care, too, are bestowed on the ever fascinating topic of trousers, and each of the minor characters, from Martha Sage with her resentful double-chins, and Lady Pearl with the "cooing, thunderous voice'' inherited from her mother, to Lady Drake who ate enormously, is hit off by a rememberable characteristic. The beauty of the tale is its consistent tone of levity, unmarred by obtrusive cynicism or "dogginess." That Mr. Hichens is egregiously smart is undeniable ; but his smartness will not pall on one who is content to skim the creamy froth he has provided with a correspondingly light touch. A comparison of The Londoners with Mr. Sharp's "Wives in Exile " will show the extent of Mr. Hichens' present achievement. This is a skit, pure and simple, in the presence of which "analysis should hold its merciless hand, psychology veil its piercing eye." --The Book Buyer: A Monthly Review of American and Foreign Literature
