Opis i karakteristike
George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time living among the desperately poor and destitute, Down and Out in Paris and London is a moving tour of the underworld of society from the author of 1984, published with an introduction by Dervla Murphy in Penguin Modern Classics.
'You have talked so often of going to the dogs and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.'
Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor sleeping in buginfested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Htel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a stargazing pavement artist and a starving Russian exarmy captain. Exposing a shocking, previouslyhidden 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
'The whitehot reaction of a sensitive, observant, compassionate young man to poverty' Dervla Murphy
