He went beyond his assignment to investigate the employed as well-â€to see the most typical section of the English working class.â€ Foreword by Victor Gollancz. More »

[ 4.0 stars ] "The first half of this book should be required reading for every citizen of The West who considered the Western World superior to the oppressive regimes of the middle east and east. The coal mining towns of England in the 1930s subjected every citizen to torture that is hard to imagine happening in the 20th Century.Unfortunately, the second half of the book is a fairly dry and, now, dated look at ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Definitely in three distinct parts (only the first two deserve the B+).You can see where this sort of thing comes from: socialist Orwell is in yet another heated debate with someone about whether or not miners are underpaid, or whether unemployed people are bludgers, but rather than just leave it at a slammed door, he heads out and tours mining districts, going down the pit and interviewing hundre ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "In The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell pens a very astute, informative and readable account of Life in a Northern Town in mid-30s Britain, proving that he could have been a fantastic investigative journalist had he wanted to pursue that career alone.

[ 5.0 stars ] "A simple assignment from the Left Book Club... Go to the north of England, live among the miners and report on the work and living conditions, and the effects of unemployment. Orwell delivered on the assignment and then delivered something the Book Club had not asked for, and did not want.I thought it strange, in the introduction of the book, that the publisher felt it necessary to answer for an ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "Orwell wanted to understand how the working class in England thought, and to do this he lived in different working class households and spent days at mines seeing miners work. These experiences gave him a much deeper understanding of the way working class people thought than just knowing their incomes or the official number of hours they worked. Orwell tries to show us the daily routines that he o ..." Courtesy by Amazon
