Krátký popis
In late 1927, at the age of twenty-four, George Orwell relocated to
a tiny flat on London’s Portobello Road, and from there embarked on
a series of exploratory “tramping” expeditions to the city’s East
End, then a place of great squalor and deprivation. Later he moved
to Paris’s bohemian Latin Quarter, where, in early 1929, during a
bout of serious illness, he was the victim of a robbery that left
him in a state of near destitution, forcing him to work punishing
hours in a series of menial jobs, including as a restaurant
dishwasher. These real-life experiences laid the foundations for
what would be the young writer’s first full-length work.Populated
by a troupe of colourful characters, replete with penetrating
observations and cast in the limpid prose that would become
Orwell’s hallmark, Down and Out in Paris and London – published by
Victor Gollancz in 1933 – provides both an invaluable historical
snapshot and an insight into the perennial social evils of
inequality, poverty and alienation.
