Description

George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London is a vivid account of his experiences living among the poorest members of society in the 1920s and 1930s. As a struggling writer, Orwell recounts his struggles to survive on a daily basis, from working as a penniless dishwasher to pawning clothes and trading survival skills with fellow tramps. With sensitivity and compassion, Orwell exposes the hardships of poverty, giving readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society. This edition features a new introduction by Kerry Hudson and stunning period artwork by Elizabeth Friedlander.
