Autobiographical work by George Orwell, published in 1933. Orwell's first published book, it contains essays in which actual events are recounted in a fictionalized form. The book recounts that to atone for the guilt he feels about the conditions under which the disenfranchised and downtrodden peoples of the world exist, Orwell decides to live and work as one of them. Dressed as a beggar, he takes whatever employment might be available to a poverty-stricken outcast of Europe. In Paris he lives in a slum and works as a dishwasher. The essay "How the Poor Die" describes conditions at a charity hospital there. In London's East End, he dresses and lives like his neighbors, who are paupers and the poorest of working-class laborers. Dressed as a tramp, he travels throughout England with hoboes and migrant laborers.

[excerpt]
… We have a vague feeling that it must be ‘honest’ work, because it is hard and disagreeable, and we have made a sort of fetish of manual work. We see a man cutting down a tree, … it does not occur to us that he may only be cutting down a beautiful tree to make room for a hideous statue. 这样的单独举例分析意义不大。如果在小说里体现出来比自己这么说会让人难忘。(展开)
这两个月用下班的时间一点一点地看完这本书。 奥威尔一直是我的大爱，某种程度上《动物农庄》道出了我对政治的看法。最近从图书馆借了他的散文集Essay看，有种“多年未见，一见旧情仍在”的感觉，于是赶快找来这本Down and Out in Paris and London看（我称这书为《失魂落魄记...

坦诚。深刻。诙谐。打满10昏。白描，只需要白描，强大的作品不需要渲染，辣只会减低他的力量。不过，极度的困苦，配上搞笑的笔法，更显触目惊心。比同类作品Nickel and Dimed不鸡道高到喇里去了。

“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”常被认为语出奥威尔，至今没找到出处。但看了这本书，总觉得他是最可能说这话的。

回巴黎的车上看得一路抹眼泪，心境直到第二天也没完全转圜过来。文风老实得不能再老实，可字字句句都敲进你心里。很久没有看外文书看这么投入了。

（“我在巴黎刷盘子”+“我在伦敦流落街头”）尽管是写于一个世纪前，尽管那时奥威尔才二十五六岁，奥威尔在巴黎/伦敦的流浪记，比起中国现在都市里流行的“我在北京送外卖”，或是“我在上海开出租”等，更朴实而生动，无疑也更具洞见（尽管我觉得有些思考不免天真，而且毕竟这些经历也只是“权宜之计”，终究会回到他的生活轨道），他不靠榨取他人的故事来凸显自己的与众不同，而是一种文学性地思考底层人物在面对贫穷与不公时... （“我在巴黎刷盘子”+“我在伦敦流落街头”）尽管是写于一个世纪前，尽管那时奥威尔才二十五六岁，奥威尔在巴黎/伦敦的流浪记，比起中国现在都市里流行的“我在北京送外卖”，或是“我在上海开出租”等，更朴实而生动，无疑也更具洞见（尽管我觉得有些思考不免天真，而且毕竟这些经历也只是“权宜之计”，终究会回到他的生活轨道），他不靠榨取他人的故事来凸显自己的与众不同，而是一种文学性地思考底层人物在面对贫穷与不公时如何生活（精神或物质方面）：饥饿何其真实，陷在现代社会中的洗碗工意义何在？工作的无意义，贫穷是一种社会的病，纵使穷困潦倒依旧有人仰望免费的星空… (展开)

年轻的写作者读了应该会觉得宽慰：就算是乔治奥威尔20多岁时的作品也是如此平庸
