Autor/-in: Lewis Jones

Lewis Jones was a man of his time, an autodidact, like many in the factories and mines. He was a union organiser and gifted public orator. He wrote the two books to directly inspire the working-class people he was part of. He died in 1939 on a day he reputedly made thirty speeches in one day. We Live was unfinished at the time of his death and was completed by his partner and fellow activist Mavis Llewellyn. It was first published in 1937.
