Orwell, George - Down and Out in Paris and London (Published in by The Folio Society in 2016. The first book by the acclaimed author of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm is a moving reportage document on the deprivations of poverty. Bound in blocked cloth. Set in Dante with Jacob Riley for display. 272 pages. Frontispiece and 6 black & white photographs. Coloured page tops. Ribbon marker 9" x 5.75". Please note Folio Collectables are not slipcased. George Orwell's memoir, written when he was a young man in his twenties and published in 1933, is a revealing and often disturbing account of his time living in the slums of Paris and on the streets of London. As his determination to understand poverty takes him from one desperate situation to another, Orwell's compassion and curiosity shine through: with each shared cigarette, with each unexpected conversation, a previously hidden world is revealed. )
