Abstrakt: The article discusses the book "Angel Pavement," by J.B. Priestley. The book "Angel Pavement" is the story of a group of workers employed in a London, England, office, an ordinary business office in an ordinary backwater street of the great city. Each of these employees is typical of a class, each may be recognized. The author shows the paucity of their lives, the dullness of their work and their repressed longings for romance. The one character who has any vigor and initiative, Goispie, appears suddenly and reanimates their listless hearts, only to disappear as suddenly, having ruined the firm and left everyone worse off than they were before. Priestley loses no opportunity of describing the psychology of each of his characters.
