Synopsis "Sin Blanca en Paris y Londres (in Spanish)"

Una obra maestra del reportaje del siglo XX por el autor de 1984 y Rebelión en la granja. «Hay otra sensación que constituye un gran consuelo en la pobreza. Creo que cualquiera que haya pasado apuros económicos la habrá experimentado. Es una sensación de alivio, casi placentera, al saber que por fin estás sin blanca. Has hablado tantas veces de la posibilidad de acabar en el arroyo... y resulta que ya estás en él y puedes soportarlo. Eso te quita muchas preocupaciones.»Sin blanca en París y Londres es el vívido relato del tiempo que Orwell pasó entre los más pobres de la sociedad, un recorrido por los bajos fondos. Fue la primera obra que publicó Orwell, escrita cuando era un escritor primerizo, y narra su primer contacto con la pobreza. Describe meticulosamente un mundo de miseria y penalidades, duerme en hostales infestados de insectos, en casas de acogida, trabaja como friegaplatos en un inmundo restaurante parisino, se alimenta de migajas y colillas de tabaco, vive con vagabundos, un soñador artista callejero y un ex militar ruso muerto de hambre... Al revelar una realidad impactante que hasta entonces permanecía oculta, Orwell dio por primera vez un rostro humano a las estadísticas de pobreza, y además encontró su voz.La crítica dijo...«Los libros de Orwell son una poderosa advertencia.»Erich Fromm«La reacción incandescente de un joven sensible, observador y generoso a la pobreza.»Devila Murphy«Orwell fue la fuerza moral de su época.»Spectator«Orwell siempre resulta interesante. Y eso se debe en parte a la claridad de su prosa, pero también a que muchos de sus juicios siguen teniendo una fuerte presencia a día de hoy.»Alex Massie, The Independent«Una trabajo extraordinario.»The New York Times Book ReviewENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis unusual fictional account, in good part autobiographical, narrates without self-pity and often with humor the adventures of a penniless British writer among the downand- out of two great cities. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and society.

View Author's Page

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
