This unusual fictional account, in good part autobiographical, narrates without self-pity and often with humor the adventures of a penniless British writer among the down-and-out of two great cities. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and society.
And yet amid the noise and dirt lived the usual respectable French shopkeepers, bakers and laundresses and the like, keeping themselves to themselves and quietly piling up small fortunes. One room was let to two different lodgers, one a day worker and the other a night worker. The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people—people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of...

如果不算倒数第二和第三章的话，应该是上半年最佳了。喜欢这种看作者的描写就能脑补出所有画面的书。
