The latter half of the book takes the English narrator to his home city London where the world of poverty is different in externals only.A socialist who believed that the lower classes were the wellspring of world reform Orwell actually went to live among them in England and on the continent. His novel draws on his experiences of this world from the bottom of the echelon in the kitchens of posh French restaurants to the free lodging houses tramps and street people of London. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and society.</p> Blackstone Publishing paperback

George Orwell penniless and with nowhere to go found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. By day he tramped the streets often passing time with 'screevers' or street artists drunks and other hobos. At night he stood in line for a bed in a 'spike' or doss house where a cup of sugary tea a hunk of stale bread and a blanket were the only sustenance and comfort on offer. Down and Out in Paris and London is George Orwell's haunting account of the streets and those who have no choice but to live on them.</p> Viking paperback

Down and Out in Paris and London
Blackstone Publishing 2007. Paperback. New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> George Orwell</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Blackstone Publishing</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Paperback</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780786159024</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2007</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 200</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Orwell's own experiences inspire this semi-autobiographical novel about a penniless man living in Paris in the early 1930s. The narrator's poverty brings him into contact with strange incidents and characters which he manages to chronicle with great sensitivity and graphic power. The latter half of the book takes the English narrator to his home city London where the world of poverty is different in externals only.A socialist who believed that the lower classes were the wellspring of world reform Orwell actually went to live among them in England and on the continent. His novel draws on his experiences of this world from the bottom of the echelon in the kitchens of posh French restaurants to the free lodging houses tramps and street people of London. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and society.</p> Blackstone Publishing paperback
