About The Book: "Down and Out in Paris and London" (1933) by George Orwell is a memoir exposing poverty in Paris and London, targeting middle- and upper-class readers. It vividly portrays the author's experience living in destitution in Paris, working in restaurant kitchens, and later tramping around London. The first part narrates his struggle in Paris, facing theft, hunger, and casual labor, particularly as a dishwasher. The second part offers a tramp's perspective on life in and around London. Orwell's exploration of poverty and societal issues lays the groundwork for his later works. Initially rejected by publishers, it eventually gained recognition, contributing to Orwell's literary career and societal critique.
