This audiobook includes unabridged recordings of all George Orwell's greatest non-fiction: three full-length books, a collection of his most well-renowned essays and the complete collection of his poetry.

Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his 20s, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Hôtel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain.

I Paris og London på vrangen beskriver Orwell livets barske realiteter for de arbejdende fattige og de hjemløse i to af Europas mest berømte og glamourøse byer og afslører en skjult verden af slid, elendighed og angst.

Sin blanca en París y Londres es el vívido relato del tiempo que Orwell pasó entre los más pobres de la sociedad, un recorrido por los bajos fondos. Fue la primera obra que publicó Orwell, escrita cuando era un escritor primerizo, y narra su primer contacto con la pobreza. En este audiolibro, Orwell describe meticulosamente un mundo de miseria y penalidades.
