Down and Out in Paris and London & The Road to Wigan Pier

George Orwell is a difficult author to summarize. He was a would-be

revolutionary who went to Eton, a political writer who abhorred

dogma, a socialist who thrived on his image as a loner, and a

member of the Imperial Indian Police who chronicled the iniquities

of imperialism. Both the books in this volume were published in the

1930s, a “a low, dishonest decade,” as his coeval W.H. Auden

described it. Orwell’s subjects in Down and Out in Paris and

London and The Road to Wigan Pier are the political and social

upheavals of his time. He focusses on the sense of profound

injustice, incipient violence, and malign betrayal that were

ubiquitous in Europe in the 1930s. Orwell’s honesty, courage,

and sense of decency are inextricably bound up with the

quasi-colloquial style that imbues his work with its extraordinary

power. His descriptions of working in the slums of Paris, living the

life of a tramp in England, and digging for coal with miners in the

North make for a thoughtful, riveting account of the lives of the

working poor and of one man’s search for the truth.
