Very Good with lean to spine, previous owner address stamp to front free endpaper and toning to pages. In a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with chipping and several short tears at the edges, rubbing and several small chips to the folds, and light toning to spine. A lovely copy of Orwell's first published novel, a semi-autobiographical work, which, much as the title promises, details hunger and poverty in two major European capitals.

Synopsis

Down and Out in Paris and London, published in 1933, is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell. It is a story in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. The first part is a picaresque account of living on the breadline in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens.
