Dienos Paryžiuje ir Londone

Novel, Memoir by George Orwell

Blurb

Dienos Paryžiuje ir Londone – pusiau autobiografinis Džordžo Orvelo pasakojimas apie gyvenimą skurde Paryžiuje ir Londone, pirmoji jo knyga. Istorija pradedama Paryžiuje, kur Orvelas gyveno dvejus metus, pragyvenimui užsidirbdamas iš anglų kalbos mokymo, recenzijų ir straipsnių rašymo įvairiems periodiniams leidiniams. Vėliau persikėlė į Londoną, kur be rašymo ir repetitoriaus paslaugų dirbo pardavėju knygyne. Pastaroji patirtis jį įkvėpė vėlesnei novelei – „Keep the Aspidistra Flying“.
Pirmą kartą šią knygą 1933 m. išleido Londono leidykla „Victor Gollancz Ltd“.

Starke Identifikation mit dem Protagonisten. Teilweise vom Stil her wie Robinson Crusoe, ständiges Aufzählen von Gedbeträgen, Arbeitszeiten, Besitztümern usw. Keine Verbindung zwischen den Paris und London.-Teil. Keine weiblichen Charaktere.

The detailed descriptions of expenses and strategies to find places to sleep, ways to get some money to survive until some better solution arrives and the opinions about the author's experience made me try and see things and people with more attention. It did not change dramatically my point of view, but it certainly made me think more about it. I would suggest this book to anyone in my social circle, because I believe it might be hard for them to be sympathetic for the same reasons it is hard for me.

A little too opinionated to be good. The characters are character-y, for sure, but the drawn-out factual descriptions of the life of British "tramps," their slang and way of living drag down the narrative. I utterly lost interest after the narrator leaves Paris for London, as his development halts at that point.
