Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Hôtel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, previously-hidden world to his readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time - and in doing so, found his voice as a writer.

George Orwell
Föddes i Bihar, Indien under tiden för Brittiska styret. Orwells författarskap brukar beskrivas för sin kvickhet, intelligens och politiska aspekt, där han ofta ville peka på orättvisorna i dåtidens totalitära samhällen.
