Purchase options and add-ons

London's Overthrow is a potent polemic describing the capital in a time of austerity at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Award-winning author and essayist China Miville cuts through the hyperbole of our politicians to present a view from ordinary London of the inequality, oppression and indignity and the hidden, subversive sentiment pervading throughout our streets.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Klingt nach Dystopia, ist aber Realität eines sozial schwachen Europas
    Reviewed in Germany on August 29, 2021
    War gedacht für einen Vortrag in der Uni, aber hat mich auch außerhalb des Kurses viel zum Nachdenken gebracht. China Mieville schreibt zwar fiktiv, ist aber absolut nicht entfernt von der Realität, da er über einzelne Szenen hinweg die Misstände in europäischen Großstädten veranschaulicht. Soziale Ungleichheit, Sexismus, Rassismus, Islamfeindlichkeit, Armut und alles, was vom Traum eines Europas entfernt bleiben sollte, werden zum Thema. Es gibt vieles, was verändert werden muss, nur liegt die Macht zur Veränderung da, wo sie nicht hingehört.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A walk on the dark London.
    Reviewed in Spain on January 10, 2015
    This is not a work of fiction, but an essay over actual London, from a leftist perspective, well written as always.
  • Phill Evans
    5.0 out of 5 stars Very thoughtful and beautifully written.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2013
    I don't live in London, I live in the other 5% of the country. The capital has the sense of being a cultural black hole, sucking in all the resources of the country, I resent that. CM's essay though shows London and Londoners as more than the bloated stinking sump it seems to the outsider.

    This is an excoriating rebuttal of the capitalism which cloaks its self in London's glory, a celebration of the city as a hoary old survivor, lurching from one apocalypse to another.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Excellently written, but at times superficial analysis
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2012
    This is undoubtedly and excellenty written essay. And note it is a short essay, not a book. It has become a book only by increasing font size, including plenty of whitespace, lots of margin space, and plenty of semi-empty pages. And a whole bunch of very poorly executed photos (dear editors, Melville is an essayist, not a photographer; get a professional next time). Which begs the question why it is priced as a book and not a short essay.

    But while it is very well written (almost poetic) the content leaves somewhat to be desired, with a rather superficial analysis of contemporary London. Yes, some of the ideas are good, but they need more thought and more factual backing, as often they just come across as unsubstantiated opinion.
  • T. O'connell
    5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2013
    Mieville doesn't make any attempt to give a balanced view of the situation in London towards the end of 2011, his prose is entertaining and gives a real sense of dread and desperation among certain echelons of British society.
