8 März 1929 Jahr - Beginning of poverty misfortunes

Beschreibung:

Orwell becomes sick and gets robbed in Paris.
"It is altogether curious, your first contact with poverty. You have thought so much about poverty—it is the thing you have feared all your life, the thing you knew would happen to you sooner or later; and it, is all so utterly and
prosaically different. You thought it would be quite simple; it is extraordinarily complicated. You thought it would be terrible; it is merely squalid and boring. It is the peculiar LOWNESS of poverty that you discover first; the shifts that
it puts you to, the complicated meanness, the crust-wiping."
