George Orwell was a British author and journalist born on June 25, 1903 in Motihari, Bihar, India. He dedicated his work to fighting against totalitarianism and advocating for democratic Socialism. His powerful writings were influenced by his firsthand experiences of political oppression and social injustice. Orwell's works continue to resonate with readers worldwide, as he passionately championed the importance of individual freedom and truth.

Throughout his career, Orwell fearlessly tackled controversial topics such as government surveillance, propaganda, and censorship. His most famous novels include "1984" and "Animal Farm," which serve as cautionary tales about the dangers of authoritarian regimes. Orwell's insightful commentary on power dynamics remains relevant today.

Tragically, George Orwell passed away on January 21, 1950 in London, England due to tuberculosis. Despite his untimely death at the age of 46, his legacy lives on through his thought-provoking literature that continues to inspire generations.

Back In Stock

To be poor and destitute in 1920s Paris and London was to experience life at its lowest ebb. George Orwell, penniless and with nowhere to go, found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. By day, he tramped the streets, often passing time with 'screevers' or street artists, drunks and other hobos. At night, he stood in line for a bed in a 'spike' or doss house, where a cup of sugary tea, a hunk of stale bread and a blanket were the only sustenance and comfort on offer.

Down and Out in Paris and London is George Orwell's haunting account of the streets and those who have no choice but to live on them.
