Description
"You have talked so often of going to the dogs – and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them."
George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time among the desperately poor and destitute in London and Paris is a moving tour of the underworld of society. Here he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a dishwasher in the vile hotel, living alongside tramps, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts - in an unforgettable account of what being down and out is really like.
