A humorous excerpt narrated (and visually imagined) by yours truly, Oddie Beau. For those who love peeks into the past, you will really enjoy this! This is a true account of George Orwell's time spent in Paris in the 1920s, with all the strange and eccentric characters he encountered there.
When Down and Out in Paris and London begins, the narrator, George Orwell, a British man in his early twenties, is living in Paris's Latin Quarter, in a bug-infested hotel run by Madame F and occupied by various eccentrics. Orwell, who supports himself by giving English lessons and writing articles that once in a while get published, is down to his last four hundred and fifty francs. His financial situation grows even more dire when a thief robs a number of rooms in the hotel. Orwell is not left destitute, but nearly so, and thus his first experiences with true poverty begin.
