Abstract:The master’s thesis evaluates changes made in the book Down and Out in Paris and London in comparison with the author’s personal experience, and researches the possible reasons for those alterations. It examines various schools of criticism and their stances about the importance of the author for the interpretation of the text and the question of authorial intent. Because the author’s involvement in the literary text is closely connected with the genre of the text, this thesis will also explore how different genres affect the reader’s interpretation. Although Orwell is renowned as a truth teller, we can find many differences between the book and his real-life experiences – they can be divided into two categories: those made by Orwell himself and those suggested by literary agents and later by his publisher, Victor Gollancz.
Keywords:George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, personal experience, poverty.

Title:Orwell na robu in na dnu: analiza avtobiografskih elementov v delu Na robu in na dnu v Parizu in v Londonu
Abstract:Magistrsko delo obravnava delo Georga Orwella Na robu in na dnu v Parizu in Londonu, ki je nastalo na podlagi avtorjevih osebnih izkušenj v Parizu in Londonu med letoma 1928, ko je uradno nehal službovati za indijsko imperialno policijo, in 1930, ko se je vrnil iz Pariza. V delu so tako obravnavane razlike med avtorjevimi osebnimi izkušnjami in dogodki, zapisanimi v delu Na robu in na dnu v Parizu in v Londonu, ter možne razlage za določene spremembe. Te spremembe so ovrednotene na podlagi primerjave med delom in različnimi eseji, pismi in biografijami, ki obravnavajo Orwellovo življenje. V drugem in tretjem poglavju je opisan razvoj odnosa med avtorjem, literarnim delom in bralcem. Prvotno je avtor veljal za glavno avtoriteto glede interpretacije njegovega literarnega dela, vendar je bilo na začetku 20. stoletja vse več literarnih strokovnjakov mnenja, da bi primarni fokus moral biti na delu ali na bralcu, saj je avtor s tem, ko je končal in objavil svoje delo, zaključil svojo vlogo v življenjskem ciklu dela in avtorski namen ni pomemben faktor v interpretaciji besedila. Opisani so različni pogledi na odnos med delom in avtorjem ter omenjeni številni eseji znanih literarnih kritikov, kot so na primer Roland Barthes, Cleanth Brooks, E. D. Hirsch in P. D. Juhl. Ker je bilo delo Na robu in na dnu v Parizu in v Londonu primarno označeno kot fikcija in kasneje reklasificirano kot nefikcija, je opisan tudi odnos med fiktivnimi in nefiktivnimi besedili ter interpretacijo bralca, saj na interpretacijo vpliva tudi zvrst besedila. Opisan je relativno nov pojem na področju literarnih zvrsti – avtofikcija.
Keywords:George Orwell, Na robu in na dnu v Parizu in v Londonu, osebne izkušnje, revščina.
