Gritty social exploration, poverty's harsh reality.

Orwell's narrative comes from first-hand experience, which not only documents but also humanizes the struggles of the impoverish in two major European cities. This isn't just a memoir; it's a gritty social commentary that serves as a stark reminder of the thin lines between stability and destitution, inviting introspection about society and empathy for the downtrodden. If you're intrigued by the personal plights within a historical context, this book could give you a profound perspective.

Description

A memoir of the author's time among the desperately poor and destitute in London and Paris. It documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a dishwasher in the vile 'Hotel X', living alongside tramps, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts.
