Down and Out in Paris and London - George Orwell

Down and Out in Paris and London – George Orwell 

Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell is a powerful memoir that immerses readers in the harsh reality of poverty in two of Europe’s great cities. Orwell documents his time living among the destitute—washing dishes in grim Parisian kitchens, sleeping in bug-infested hostels, wandering the streets with tramps, and scraping by on scraps and cigarette ends. With raw honesty and vivid detail, he exposes the brutality, invisibility, and humanity of life at the very bottom of society. A classic work of social reportage that remains painfully relevant.
