Jim Stockton

4.9/5 (13418 ratings)

Description:George Orwell was not the only one to be 'Down and out in Paris and London'. This was the author's experience. After a spell of National Service and another in the Merchant Navy, and with a short prison sentence behind him, he crossed to France to join the Foreign Legion. But his treatment as a recruit soon convinced him that he was no Beau Geste, and he swiftly deserted. This put him 'on the run' through the seamy side of Paris, a tranmp's life along the quais and warren of back streets. Contriving to get back to England, he found he was wanted by the police and was soon in prison again. Then, poverty-stricken in London and seeking to go straight, he found a menial job in the kitchen of one of the grand hotels and came to terms with a London underworld as grim and inhuman as the Parisian.
