Born In Exile was written in the year 1891 by George Gissing. This book is one of the most popular novels of George Gissing, and has been translated into several other languages around the world. This book is published by Booklassic which brings young readers closer to classic literature globally.

Regarded as Gissing’s finest novel, New Grub Street tells the story of the lives and dreams of Jasper Milvain, an ambitious, cynical young writer, and Edwin Reardon, a talented novelist with limited prospects. Set in the literary and journalistic circles of 1880s London, the world that Gissing himself inhabited, this late-Victorian novel is a classic.

Published in 1903,  The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft brought Gissing great acclaim. Heavily autobiographical, the novel is written in the form of a memoir of the last happy years of a writer who had struggled through the grubby world of journalism, but thanks to a legacy late in life was able – unlike Gissing himself – to retire to the countryside.

The Town Traveller is one of Gissing's novels which earned him more income during his lifetime than most of his other novels. The story is full of life and descriptive detail. It revolves around life of town traveller Gammon, just the sort of quarter-educated that Gissing usually despises.
