Homeless in Paris and London

It is a work of autobiography and social critique written by George Orwell, published in 1933, in which he recounts his personal experience as a homeless person in two of Europe's largest cities: Paris and London. Orwell describes in the novel his daily suffering with poverty, hard work, hunger, and homelessness, where he lived in poor neighborhoods, worked in hotel kitchens in Paris, then moved to London and suffered from begging and sleeping in shelters. With an honest and satirical style, he deeply criticizes the social and economic system that marginalizes the poor and the oppressed. The novel is not just a description of a personal experience, but a sharp critique of manifestations of class injustice, and it shows Orwell's great empathy with the lower classes, which later became the core of his political and social writings.
