George Orwell

George Orwell's vivid memoir of this time living among the desperately poor and destitute is a moving tour of the underworld of society. Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his first contact with poverty, sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris, living alongside tramps, a stargazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, previously hidden world to readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time. In doing so, he found his voice as a writer.
