This is one of George Orwell's greatest stories and it makes for riveting listening/reading. Here we have included the first part of the larger book, focusing on his days as a dishwasher and more in Paris. We will also produce an audiobook version of the second half (about London) in a couple of days. "Down and Out in Paris and London" by George Orwell is a vivid autobiographical account that explores the depths of poverty in two of Europe's greatest cities. In Paris, Orwell describes his struggles with near destitution and his time working as a plongeur (dishwasher) in the squalid conditions of Parisian hotels and restaurants. He vividly portrays the harsh realities and characters he encounters, highlighting the dignity and resilience of those living on the margins.
