Филантропы в рваных штанах

The book vividly depicts the struggles of laborers, but I'm curious about what personal or historical factors motivated Tressell to highlight these issues so passionately.

Reading about the workers' hopes and frustrations made me wonder how much has really changed in over a century. Are these themes still relevant in modern discussions on inequality?

While some parts felt dense, I think it added to the realism, but I'm curious whether others felt the same or found it challenging to stay engaged.
