Down and Out in Paris and London

‘You have talked so often of going to the dogs – and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.’ George Orwell’s vivid memoir of his time among the desperately poor and destitute in London and Paris is a moving tour of the underworld of society. Here he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor – sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a dishwasher in the vile ‘H tel X’, living alongside tramps, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts – in an unforgettable account of what being down and out is really like. —- ISBN: 9780141184388 | ISBN10: 0141184388 | ISBN-13: 978-0141184388
