Orwell successfully told a tale of the downtrodden and oppressed in a way that was interesting, informative and at the same time extremely witty and entertaining. The majority of the book is dedicated to the protagonist's experiences in Paris. His interactions with his compatriot Boris the Russian, and his time as a menial worker at the Paris Cafes were often hilarious. Other experiences were quite sobering indeed. I would have ranked this five stars except that the ending of the book with regard to his time in London was a bit slow and anti-climatic. A highly recommended and outstanding work!

HTML: Orwell's own experiences inspire this semi-autobiographical novel about a penniless man living in Paris in the early 1930s. The narrator's poverty brings him into contact with strange incidents and characters, which he manages to chronicle with great sensitivity and graphic power. The latter half of the book takes the English narrator to his home city, London, where the world of poverty is different in externals only. A socialist who believed that the lower classes were the wellspring of world reform, Orwell actually went to live among them in England and on the continent. His novel draws on his experiences of this world, from the bottom of the echelon in the kitchens of posh French restaurants to the free lodging houses, tramps, and street people of London. In the tales of both cities, we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and society. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
