Down and Out in Paris and London

The stars are a free show; it don't cost anything to use your eyes.' In George Orwell's first full-length work, a memoir in two parts, he recounts how he lived in two major cities as a struggling writer with very little money in his pocket. From sleeping in bug-infested hotels to surviving off scraps, Orwell uncovers the truth about the impoverished working and living conditions of Paris and London.
