Down And Out In Paris And London de Orwell, George - 1979

Penguin Books, 1988. Paperback.

Penguin, London, 1988. 27th paperback printing. Condition: Near fine, very light edge and corner wear.This unusual fictional memoir - in good part autobiographical - narrates without self-pity and often with humor the adventures of a penniless British writer among the down-and-outs of two great cities. The Parisian episode is fascinating for its expose of the kitchens of posh French restaurants, where the narrator works at the bottom of the culinary echelon as dishwasher, or plongeur. In London, while waiting for a job, he experiences the world of tramps, street people, and free lodging houses. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and of society.
