George Orwell
The Road To Wigan Pier
<p>new</p><p>A searing account of George Orwell's observations of working-class life in the bleak industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire in the 1930s The Road to Wigan Pier is a brilliant and bitter polemic that has lost none of its political impact over time. His graphically unforgettable descriptions of social injustice cramped slum housing dangerous mining conditions squalor hunger and growing unemployment are written with unblinking honesty fury and great humanity. It crystallized the ideas that would be found in Orwell's later works and novels and remains a powerful portrait of poverty injustice and class divisions in Britain. Published with an introduction by Richard Hoggart in Penguin Modern Classics. 'It is easy to see why the book created and still creates so sharp an impact . exceptional immediacy freshness and vigour opinionated and bold . Above all it is a study of poverty and behind that of the strength of class-divisions' Richard Hoggart</p> (Penguin Modern Classics)

Overall condition: Very Good to Near Fine. Abridged edition. Language: English. Running Time: 165 minutes. Weight: 5 ounces. Read by Alex Jennings. Pen 259. Audio Cassette. As a result of his experiences living with industrial workers in the North of England in the 1930s Orwell created this searing study both for and against Socialism. "The road from Mandalay to Wigan is a long one.and the reasons for taking it are not immediately clear." Classic Orwell. He was an original among the literary giants of the first half of the 20th century leaving us far too early at the age of 46. His most famous novels are 'Animal Farm' and '1984' Mandalay is in Burma now known as Myanmar where Orwell spent five years as a police officer in the 1920's; his experience inspired his novel 'Burmese Days' . In the late `30's he demonstrated that his concerns about fascism were not all talk: he fought in the Spanish Civil War and related that experience in 'Homage to Catalonia' . Between the latter two books he experienced and subsequently depicted the lives of the poor working or not during the Great Depression in 'Down and Out in Paris and London' and this title 'The Road to Wigan Pier.' Wigan is a small town in the Greater Manchester district located in northwestern England. It is part of what was "the industrial north" whose prosperity declined sharply after the First World War. Orwell on an assignment for the "Left Book Club" visited Wigan briefly shared the lives of the poor there and wrote this account of his experience. The "Pier" in the title was a wharf on the Leeds and Liverpool canal that had been demolished even before Orwell arrived. He slept in a very sleazy boarding house which he describes in detail. The vivid details include the dirty thumbprint of the owner Mr. Brooker on the slice of bread he would pass to Orwell as well as the fact that he slept very crowded four to a bedroom and could not stretch his legs out fully in his bed until another roomer had left for work. The area around Wigan was coalmining country. He went down in the mine a tall man in a short man's world. Just to get to work that is the coal face once underground a man would have to walk at a crouch between one and six miles! Miners were physically fit they had to be to get to work and then shovel the coal onto the conveyor belts. Orwell then describes the miner's homes and daily lives. There was a "housing shortage." None of the miner's homes had a bathroom. There was a communal one which might involve a walk of 50 to 200 yards. Imagine that with five children! He describes the problems of bathing and the efforts required to obtain hot water. He lays out the finances of their lives; a constant struggle with disaster only one accident away. Orwell does this with a reporter's flat affect; no purple prose the facts themselves would convey the pathetic misery of their daily lives. In the second part of the book Orwell examines what should be done about this. He is frank about the class structure in England describing how as a member of the "lower upper middle class" he was taught not to associate with the poor and how he developed an attitude towards the "common" people: "And what is this attitude An attitude of sniggering superiority punctuated by bursts of vicious hatred." As Orwell puts it he studied Greek for 8-10 years in school and cannot repeat the alphabet ".but your snobbishness unless you persistently root it out like the bindweed it is sticks by you till your grave." An often overlooked Orwell classic. . Penguin Audiobooks unknown
