Orwell finds work as a plongeur - a slave's slave - washing dishes for 14 hours a day in a stifling inferno of a cellar, deafened by oaths and the clanging of pots and pans.

Penniless in Paris, Orwell gets a job as a 'plongeur' - a slave's slave, washing dishes for fourteen hours a day in a stifling inferno of a cellar, deafened by oaths and the clanging of pots and pans. And he discovers a whole new world among the restaurant workers of the French capital.
