In the poverty of Paris and London

Before becoming a world-famous writer, George Orwell had to see and experience a lot. In this book, the writer describes his experience of a difficult life among the social bottoms of the two most respectable capitals of Europe at that time. Despite the fact that it does not depict the happiest lives of people below any imaginable poverty line, the text is full of a kind of warmth and humor, and also warns us against hasty subjective assessments of the ups and downs of other people who may have just been a little lucky in life less than us.
Orwell began his creative journey with an autobiographical novel, unexpected in terms of subject matter and impressive in its frankness, "In the Poverty of Paris and London", in which he describes with his characteristic insight and skill the experience of his own wanderings among the social bases of the two world capitals of that time - Paris and London. Half-starved life, hard work for eighteen hours a day, all kinds of swindlers and noble rags - Orwell introduces the reader to the world that is usually always close to us.
