Published in 1933, and still relevant today, Orwell's first full-length work is a compassionate and insightful description of the life of the working poor in Paris and the homeless in London.
Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, he vividly documents a world of unrelenting squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a plongeur in a Paris hotel, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain.
Exposing a shocking, previously-hidden world to his readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time - and in doing so, found his voice as a writer.
'Orwell was the great moral force of his age' - Spectator

Eines der besten Bücher die ich je gelesen habe!!

Down and Out in Paris and London erinnert mich in einem Aspekt sehr stark an Fight Club. Dieser Meditative, „Sen“-artige Zustand wenn man zuunterst and der Nahrungskette angekommen finde ich extrem spannend und diese Autobiographische Erkundung dieses Zustands ist extrem magnetisierend!
Kann ich jedem ans Herz legen.
