Beschreibung
George Orwell's first published work, Down and Out in Paris and London, is a vivid, sensitive account of the time he lived as one of the poor in the late twenties. In a bug-infested hotel, surviving only between the pawnbroker and a little teaching and writing, Orwell shocked the middle-class establishment with his observation of the misery, the hopelessness and the despair of the poor of a previously unexplored Paris and London.
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory
Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include
Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and
Homage to Catalonia.
