- tcgv 3y agoWhich even though targeted middle and upper class readers, is in good part autobiographical [1], from a time when 'George Orwell' was living under harsh conditions and experienced poverty. It's a great reading. I read it in preparation for my first vacation in London ;) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_Paris_and_London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_Paris_and_Lond...
