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.

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...

“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。

奥威尔的好就在看似普通却回味无穷。

又读了一遍，书今天看当然有瑕疵，但奥威尔的可贵是所有一切都基于亲身经历，他的理解和共情完全出自内心，而非出于外在的道德要求。

奥威尔是一个好的政治作家，却不一定是个好的作家。1984和动物庄园还算有趣的小说，但这一本，除开他的政治主张和独特体验，语言和组织结构实在是太乏味了。。。
