Viac o knihe

‘You have talked so often of going to the dogs – and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.’ George Orwell’s vivid memoir of his time among the desperately poor and destitute in London and Paris is a moving tour of the underworld of society. Here he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor – sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a dishwasher in the vile ‘Hôtel X’, living alongside tramps, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts – in an unforgettable account of what being down and out is really like.

Slyšeno jako audiokniha, ale zato první pařížská část asi čtyřikrát. Fenomenální vylíčení tvrdé práce v kuchyních francouzských restaurací. Anglická část už mi přišla slabší. Nebýt jí, tak je to jedna z mých nejoblíbenějších knih.
