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
