Owen's spirited attacks on the greed and dishonesty of the capitalist system rouse his fellow men from their political quietism. The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is both a masterpiece of wit and political passion and one of the most authentic novels of English working class life ever written]]> 338068 4.03 131 26 1914 7129357 1412176506 9781412176507 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7129357-the-ragged-trousered-philanthropists 0.0 0 338068 4.03 131 26 2009 7129359 1934997455 9781934997451 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7129359-the-ragged-trousered-philanthropists 0.0 0 The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists tells the story of a group of decorators (Tressell was one himself) who cope reasonably with their impoverished life until one of them, Frank Owen, starts handing out regular attacks on the greed and dishonesty of the capitalists who themselves "do nothing." But Owen’s words fall on deaf ears — that is, until the posher Barrington joins ranks with Owen in a fight for a fairer society. Peopled with credible characters and evocative speeches, the novel lends itself naturally to the spoken word medium. This newly abridged audio version concentrates on the social and political issues with particular relevance in today’s society. Narrator Tony Robinson, who stars as Baldrick in Blackadder is himself an active member of the Labour Party, and Stephen Twigg, former member of Parliament, is the voice of Barrington — bringing a new and exciting dimension to this important classic novel.</DIV>]]> 338068 4.03 131 26 34204 4.12 43 14 3165640 0.0 0 0 2009 7129358 1436537479 9781436537476 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7129358-the-ragged-trousered-philanthropists 0.0 0 338068 4.03 131 26 2008 7129360 0005839297 2940005839299 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7129360-the-ragged-trousered-philanthropists 0.0 0 338068 4.03 131 26 2787758 1425098568 9781425098568 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2787758.The_Ragged_Trousered_Philanthropists_Volume_3_of_3_EasyRead_Large_Edition_ 0.0 0 338068 4.03 131 26 2007 921364 1425051936 9781425051938 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179470341m/921364.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179470341s/921364.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/921364.The_Ragged_Trousered_Philanthropists_Volume_II_Easyread_Large_Edition_ 0.0 0 338068 4.03 131 26 2006 921362 142505188X 9781425051884 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179470319m/921362.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179470319s/921362.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/921362.The_Ragged_Trousered_Philanthropists_Volume_I_Easyread_Comfort_Edition_ 0.0 0 338068 4.03 131 26 2006 921370 0413544001 9780413544001 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/921370.The_Ragged_Trousered_Philanthropists_A_Play 0.0 0 The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell, which tells the story of a group of working men who are joined one day by Owen, a journeyman-prophet with a vision of a just society.
