Description of product
The first full-length work by George Orwell, published in 1933, Down and Out reflects his preoccupation with social inequality and lives of the destitute, ideas that would go on to shape his later works and novels. Targeted at the middle and upper class members of society-those who were more likely to be well educated-this memoir exposes the poverty existing in two prosperous cities: Paris and London. In the first half, Orwell describes his experience of living in near-destitution in Paris and working as a dishwasher in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life as a tramp in and around London, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins.
