This strange anecdotal journal - in great part
self-portraying - describes without self indulgence and frequently with
amusingness the undertakings of a poor British author among the down-and-outs
of two extraordinary urban communities. The Parisian scene is interesting for
its uncover of the kitchens of opulent French eateries, where the storyteller
works at the base of the culinary echelon as dishwasher, or plongeur. In
London, while hanging tight for a vocation, he encounters the universe of
tramps, road individuals, and free hotel houses. In the stories of the two
urban areas we get familiar with some calming Orwellian certainties about
neediness and of society.
Blue in Paris and London is the principal full-length work
by the English creator George Orwell, distributed in 1933. It is a memoir in
two sections on the subject of neediness in the two urban areas. The initial
segment is a record of living in close dejection in Paris and the experience of
easygoing work in eatery kitchens. The subsequent part is a travelog of life
out and about in and around London from the tramp's point of view, with
portrayals of the sorts of lodging settlement accessible and a portion of the
characters to be discovered living on the edges.
