Dealing with orwell`s homeless years that were said to be done purely for writing purposes,a great book. Also orwell at one point wanted to go to prison so he could write about the experience. See also,"The Road to wigan pier" about the miners struggle.

i liked animal farm and have yet to read 1984, but i have to say this was an awesome read. it was so detailed and sepecific in its narration of poverty and hard times in this area and time. i felt like i could literally smell the streets and cafes and hear the chatter among the locals. it was a lovely and satisfying glimpse into another world.

Excellent portrayal of the world of Paris when starving. Wonderfully entertaining characters of that world. Plus excellent observations of the workings of hotels and restaurants from the overworked employees' viewpoint. Try reading this.
