About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Don't go outside , she's there.

    Well what can you say? Wigan people are lazy and can't be bothered to go to the post box because the tide's up near the pier. Personally George that's giving them respect, I'm surprised you didn't have the main character suffering from agoraphobia then I would not have put it down and turned the television on. 1984 the movie was better. R.I.P. John Hurt.
