In the late 1920s, Eric Blair resigned his post as a colonial policeman in Burma, immersed himself in the slums of Paris and London, and reinvented himself as George Orwell, one of the most revered prose stylists in the English language. Orwell decided to write about the lives of the poor - the dishwashers of Paris, the tramps of London - not by imagining poverty, but by experiencing poverty. The result is a book which is as provocative and incisive about class inequalities, homelessness, and social prejudices today as it was when it was first published in 1933. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDown and Out in Paris and London\u003c\/em\u003e was George Orwell's first book, and it remains a masterpiece of prose writing.
