The Road To Wigan Pier - George Orwell (2024) EPUB [Arkham Library]

The Road to Wigan Pier is George Orwell's attempt at both investigative journalism and personal reflection while trying to find a deep inside look at the life of the working class in northern England in the 1930s. Orwell documents harsh working conditions among coal miners as well as poverty faced. The book divides its half and criticizes socialism with what it believes attracts working class people and their appeal with Orwell's own view about political ideology. It is a poignant and insightful commentary on social injustice, class struggle, and political complexities.
