The vivid, impassioned writings collected together in this powerful volume chronicle Orwell`s first-hand experiences of life among the underclass of the `two nations` of rich and poor.
Down and Out in Paris and London is the young Orwell`s memoir of his time as a struggling, often penniless writer, living among the destitute and dispossessed. Here he exposes a world unimaginable to most of his readers, one of vile doss-houses, hunger, squalor, and desperate poverty -- of `going to the dogs`. There are also articles and letters on sleeping rough in Trafalgar Square, being arrested for drunkenness, on the poverty Orwell witnessed in Morocco and India, and his shocking essay, `How the Poor Die`.
