Krátky popis
In January 1936, the thirty-two-year-old George Orwell left his
home in London and travelled to the industrial north of England
with the intention of experiencing first-hand the conditions in
which the working-class poor were compelled to live their lives.
During his two-month expedition he visited Manchester, Wigan and
Liverpool in the north-west, then Sheffield, Leeds and Barnsley in
Yorkshire, recording his impressions as he went in a diary that
would later form the basis of one of the most significant works of
literary reportage ever written. Part sociological survey, part
polemic about the potential benefits of socialism – as well as the
failures and idiosyncrasies of many of its middle-class exponents –
The Road to Wigan Pier represents a unique record of a society
riven by class inequality and plagued by unemployment, inadequate
housing, unsafe working conditions and other social ills, as well
as providing an invaluable insight into the evolution of Orwell’s
political consciousness.
