"Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell is a raw, unflinching memoir of poverty, survival, and social injustice in two of Europe's great cities.
Based on Orwell's own experiences, the book takes readers into the gritty underworld of working-class life-washing dishes in the kitchens of Parisian hotels and sleeping in shelters and on the streets of London. With vivid detail and dark humor, Orwell captures the desperation, dignity, and quiet resilience of those living on the margins.
Part reportage, part social critique, Down and Out in Paris and London is Orwell's first major work-a powerful debut that lays bare the realities of poverty and the indifference of society. It's a compassionate, sharply observed portrait of humanity at its most vulnerable, and a testament to Orwell's lifelong commitment to truth and justice."
