Synopsis:

In 1839, French writer and activist Flora Tristán traveled to London to observe firsthand the capital of the first modern industrial nation in the world. In Promenades dans Londres, she recounts the four months she spent visiting both those areas of the city the tourists avoided (and a few places she could only enter disguised as a man)—workshops and brothels, working-class neighborhoods and factories, asylums and jails—as well as the haunts of the bourgeoisie: Parliament, the horse races at Ascot, and private clubs. Her resulting diatribe against the inequalities she witnessed, and the aristocrats and capitalist system she held responsible for perpetuating injustice, would become one of the fundamental texts of the early socialist movement and go on to influence Karl Marx, among others.

 

En 1839, la escritora y activista francesa Flora Tristán viajó a Londres para observar de primera mano la capital del primer país industrial moderno del mundo. En Promenades dans Londres, cuenta los cuatro meses que pasó visitando tanto aquellos lugares de la ciudad poco frecuentadas por los turistas (y algunos dónde sólo podía entrar disfrazada de hombre)—talleres y prostíbulos, barrios marginales y fábricas, manicomios y cárceles—así como los lugares que frecuentaba la burguesía: el parlamento, las carreras hípicas de Ascot y los clubes privados. Su diatriba resultante contra las desigualdades que presenció, y los aristócratas y el sistema capitalista a quienes hizo responsable de perpetuar la injusticia, se convertiría en uno de los textos fundamentales del movimiento socialista incipiente e influiría a Karl Marx, entre otros.
