29 Mai 1929 Jahr - Boris & Orwell begin working

Beschreibung:

Having prior experience as a head waiter, Boris lands a job at Hotel X, smuggling food for Orwell for a few days. A dish washer is then fired from Hotel X, and Orwell also acquires a job there. As a PLONGEUR, Orwell is put under terrible conditions, long hours, and horrible tasks.
"The PLONGEURS, again, have a different outlook. Theirs is a job which offers no prospects, is intensely exhausting, and at the same time has not a trace of skill or interest... All that is required of them is to be constantly on the run, and to put up with long hours and a stuffy atmosphere. They have no way of escaping from this life, for they cannot save a penny from their wages, and working from sixty to a hundred hours a week leaves them no time to train for anything else... And yet the PLONGEURS, low as they are, also have a
kind of pride. It is the pride of the drudge—the man who is equal to no matter what quantity of work."
