Orwell is best known for his criticism of totalitarianism and Stalinism, of which he wrote in his books 1984 and Animal Farm. The novel Down and Out in Paris and London is a semi-autobiographical work of fiction based on Orwell's time living among the destitute in these cities during the late 1920s. From his time in the slums of the Quatier Latin in Paris, where his eccentric neighbors live day to day scheming for their next franc, to his escape to London and the workhouses populated by tramps, Orwell shows the bitter truths about the struggles faced by people on the bottom rung of the socio-economic ladder. A powerful look at the evils of poverty, Down and Out in Paris and London speaks loudly to the need of addressing this still-present problem in society. --Linda Arrington Lusk Contact Us | Privacy Policy | About Further Developments | Ingram Library Services | ipage.ingrambook.com | E-mail Preferences © Copyright 2007, Ingram Library Services, Inc.
