Down and Out in Paris and London

Down and Out in Paris and London
by George Orwell

In the 1930's, he was pennyless and out of work and forced to live in the streets. He lived the 'poor' life among the other 'vagrants' of the city looking for and often refused a bed and food or even some fair treatment. This book is his story on his experience and describes some of the worst-ever extremes of poverty.

Part autobiography, this unusual novel follows the experiences of a penniless adventurer, first in Paris in the early 1930s and later in London, where he mingles among tramps and street people.
