Synopsis
Orwell vividly and movingly details his experience of appalling poverty and hardship while he struggles to become a writer. Orwell spent nearly two years toiling in the revolting kitchens of the chic Hotel Lotti on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris--years in which he developed a loathing for the very rich. This period is the heart of the book: the tamer London episodes were added later, to make a thicker and more impressive manuscript. Initially rejected by T.S.Eliot at Faber & Faber, DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON was first published in 1933--Orwell's first published book.

An empty purse leads an English writer to find lodgings in the slums of two great cities.

Industry Reviews
"In Paris Orwell was trying to write fiction, but what survived is a marvellous, hallucinated essay on the life of a dishwasher. This engrossing, cheerful, steely look at the edge of starvation--Orwell's own starvation--takes place in a city which you have to remind yourself is the Paris of Hemingway and Fitzgerald...."
Hungry Mind Review - Andrew Moss
