Synopsis
A non-fiction classic from Orwell. Part I documents his sociological investigations of the living conditions amongst the working class in Lancashire and Yorkshire in the industrial north of England in the 1930s. Part II covers his middle-class upbringing, the development of his political conscience, and a discussion of British attitudes towards socialism.

Review
Although George Orwell grew up in the relative comfort of the English middle class, his socialist convictions and general sense of fairness led him to hate his country's deeply ingrained class structure. That perspective permeates this book, but the most striking elements are the quotidian details of life that Orwell observes in his first-person account of the lives of coal miners and others in the poor north of England. Wigan Pier is almost too realistic at times, as Orwell brings his unparalleled powers of observation to portray the wretched conditions of the working class. That Orwell may have slanted his reporting to make things look worse than they were is a question that does not lessen the book's interest.
