Aflat in cautarea propriei voci narative, Orwell repudiaza societatea "respectabila" si exploreaza viata defavorizatilor sortii, traind in camarute mizere si spalind vase in bucataria incinsa ca un cuptor a vreunui hotel parizian sau invirtindu-se printre cersetorii excentrici ai Londrei, al caror limbaj pestrit il inregistreaza fidel.
