The Town Traveller

One of the most famous, and enduring, novels of the Victorian era, The Town Traveller was written by George Gissing. It tells the story of Walter Morel, a working-class man, and his struggles with poverty. "The town traveler" is an expression used to describe a person who travels from town to town looking for work. It is not, as Wikipedia may tell you, Gissing's only work. Written in the Victorian Novel tradition, Gissing's work is a timeless look at an everyday man who lives by his wits and intellectual pursuits rather than according to society's norms. Perfect for travelers and people who love literature.
