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.

I enjoyed the Paris part more. Boris was very entertaining and in comparison being down and out in London just seemed depressing and bleak. At least in Paris there was some life and fun in between the hardship of it all.

Pretty good stuff. I liked the Paris section much better than the London section because it was more interesting to read about the behind-the-scenes of hotels and restaurants rather than the toils of tramp life. ( )

Fantastic introspective view of poverty in two iconic European cities a century ago. ( )
  RyneAndal | Jul 12, 2023 |
Not knowing what to expect, I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. 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! ( )

Yoksulluğa dair yazılmış çarpıcı bir eser. Paris ve Londra'dan ayrıntılı sefalet tasvirleri, zaman zaman istatistikler ile birlikte verilmiş. Kitapta her ne kadar doğrulayan bir ifade olmasa da, eserin yazarın hatıralarından oluştuğu hissediliyor. ( )

The Rue du Coq d'Or, Paris, seven in the morning. A succession of furious, choking yells from the street. Madame Monce, who kept the little hotel opposite mine, had come out on to the pavement to address a lodger on the third floor.

[Chapter 30]

The next morning we began looking once more for Paddy's friend, who was called Bozo, and was a screever—that is, a pavement artist. . . . He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him), and took a sort of pleasure in thinking that human affairs would never improve.
