Publisher's summary

George Robert Gissing (1857-1903) was a popular English novelist and short story writer who also worked as a teacher and tutor throughout his life. The Salt of the Earth is the poignant story of an overly kind-hearted, generous, and devoted clerk whose good nature and lack of self-assertion invites the exploitation of all around him.
