Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on Medical Matters and Medical Men in London and Paris It was not with any expectation of making a book, that I commenced my Notes on Medical Matters and Medical Men in Europe, which, for more than two years, have oc cupied so much space in the western journal OF med icine and surgery. The letters were written to one of the Editors, and, at first, without any object beyond his personal gratification. They were deemed by him worthy of publication, and forthwith I was enrolled Foreign Core respondent of the Journal. In the midst of engrossing studies, which left me but little leisure, I was induced to continue the correspondence, not more by the evidence afforded me that my contributions were well received, than by the assurance of the working Editor, that they lightened his onerous labors. The correspondence, com menced and continued in this spirit, has, at length, grown into a Volume. As the successive numbers were passing through the press, a few extra sheets were obligingly set apart for the author by the publishers, and these make the volume now presented to the reader. With this expla nation, no apology will be necessary for the style in which it appears. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Down and Out in Paris and London
Author: George Orwell
Publisher: A G Printing & Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
There were eccentric characters in the hotel. The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people—people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up trying to be normal or decent. Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work. Some of the lodgers in our hotel lived lives that were curious beyond words. There were the Rougiers, for instance, an old, ragged, dwarfish couple who plied an extraordinary trade. They used to sell postcards on the Boulevard St Michel. The curious thing was that the postcards were sold in sealed packets as pornographic ones, but were actually photographs of chateaux on the Loire; the buyers did not discover this till too late, and of course never complained. The Rougiers earned about a hundred francs a week, and by strict economy managed to be always half starved and half drunk. The filth of their room was such that one could smell it on the floor below. According to Madame F., neither of the Rougiers had taken off their clothes for four years.
