Vigdis | 25 comments Could someone please add this as an edition of George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London"?

Title: Down and Out in Paris and London
Author name: George Orwell
ISBN: 9780141042701
Publisher: Penguin
Published: 05 Sep 2013
Format: Paperback
Description: "To be poor and destitute in 1920s Paris and London was to experience life at its lowest ebb. George Orwell, penniless and with nowhere to go, found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. By day, he tramped the streets, often passing time with 'screevers' or street artists, drunks and other hobos. At night, he stood in line for a bed in a 'spike' or doss house, where a cup of sugary tea, a hunk of stale bread and a blanket were the only sustenance and comfort on offer. Down and Out in Paris and London is George Orwell's haunting account of the streets and those who have no choice but to live on them."

I'm really, really sorry for the inconvenience but I forgot to include the number of pages which is 224. I'd really appreciate if you could add it to the edition.
