THE AUTHORATITIVE TEXT 'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris
if you know how. But it is a complicated business' As a struggling
writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the
poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell
recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless
dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread
and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills
and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between
London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea. With all
of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved
for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an
unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society. This
vivid account is an enduring call to support the world's most
vulnerable people and exemplifies his belief that 'The greatest of
evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.' WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY
KERRY HUDSON
