Added Henri #Barbusse's 'Inferno' (expurgated) tran. John Rodker 1932 + 'Hell' (unexpurgated) tran. Robert Baldick 1966 (artwork by Charles Mosley) to my #pariscollection. A scandalous look at Parisian boarding houses originally published in 1908. #Orwell darcymoore.net/paris… pic.twitter.com/BW13…
