George Orwell’s famous account of his own experience living in poverty in Paris then London. With an introduction by Lara Feigel. Down and Out in Paris and London was George Orwell’s first published book.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by writer Lara Feigel.Towards the end of the 1920s, whilst living in Paris, George Orwell’s few remaining funds are stolen and he quickly falls into a life of severe poverty.

On his return to England, he lives as a tramp, finding occasional shelter in often dangerous doss houses.
