The adventure starts at the fringes of society.

It is the story of rural life in Paris with a wanderer who’s also a thinker. Indeed special case. It makes its way through the highs and lows of an unemployed person in Paris and later in London. The friendships, the conversations, and the conditions - It’s all there.

The memoir of experiences in the saddening (and sometimes exciting) environment of poverty.

I highly recommend this special book!

I really enjoyed reading this, in a grim sad kind of way. It’s a fascinating peek into the living conditions of a different era.
