Down and Out in Paris and London

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. Exposing a 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.

Memoriile vii ale lui George Orwell despre timpul in care a trait printre cei disperati de saraci si saraci, Down and Out in Paris si Londra este un tur emotionant al lumii interlope a societatii. Expunand cititorilor sai o lume ascunsa anterior, Orwell a dat pentru prima data o fata umana statisticilor saraciei - si, facand asta, si-a gasit vocea de scriitor.
