Description
Robert Tressell’s 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists’ is one of the great political novels of the 20th century.
It remains an epically scaled, emblematic argument for the case for socialism - as relevant today as it was when written in 1914. George Orwell described it as 'a book that everyone should read'.
Over a million copies have since been sold around the world.
It was published three years after the death of author Robert Noonan and tells the semi-autobiographical tale of Frank Owen, who tries in vain to illustrate to his fellow house painters and decorators of their systemic exploitation their endure by their employers.
