Радиоспектакль BBC о забавных и душераздирающих наблюдениях из жизненого опыта Орвелла, жившего ниже черты бедности в двух из самых богатых городах мира, Париже и Лондоне.
A funny and heartbreaking account of Orwell's experience living below the poverty line in two of the world's richest cities. Written when he was a struggling writer in his 20s, he observes bug-infested hostels and doss houses, work as a dishwasher in Paris, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. He exposed a shocking, previously hidden world to his readers. REUPLOAD NEEDED
'My brother preferred being with mother and me. He used to help us prepare vegetables in the kitchen or make the bread. But what he liked best was listening to my mother's stories.'

The World at the End of Time
"Frederick Pohl succeeds where others wouldn't even dare..." The Denver Post Wan-To was the oldest and must powerful intelligence in the universe, a being who played with star systems as a child plays with marbles. Matter occupied so tiny a part of his vast awareness that humans were utterly beneath his notice.
