'Down and Out in Paris and London'

By George Orwell.

I really like this book.
As old as it is, and is irrelevant the content of it seems, there is a real warmth to it, a light-hearted and almost laughable look at poverty and lower-class survival.

Orwell's ability to paint vivid images from his words really comes into it's own here, but in a totally different way to that of '1984'. He almost adopts a totally different style of writing, not just because it makes more sense in this alternate perspective, but because he is less telling a story, and more elaborating a recount.

Another look into a brilliant literary mind, if an unexpected one.
