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.

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 bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris s vile Hôtel X , surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, 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.
