Abbé Pierre and the ragpickers of Emmaus; 
translated  by Lucie Noel 
 - London :  Harvill Press,  1955 
 - 200 pages :  illustrations,  22 cm. 
<br/><br/> The Abbé Pierre has tackled in France the problems of homeless people in a new way. First he bought a house and sheltered a few down-and-out men. Then he organized his ragpickers, combed the dust-bins and the dumps, and then the sewers, and sold the salvage. He bought land, put up huts; bought more land, till he had housed 180 families; the scheme is growing daily. He has now achieved a responsible community of workers in which the poor help the poor. This is not a sociological blueprint but a gripping human story of the lives he has saved.
