Zusammenfassung:"The Road to Wigan Pier describes George Orwell's account of his journey to Wigan and other northern towns and cities, undertaken between January and March 1936, and his reflections on what to do about the poverty he found there. The Road to Wigan Pier's continued appeal is in part due to the endurance of poverty, as Orwell focuses on the experience of being poor: the hunger, illness, indignity, and despair; the frantic and often fruitless efforts to make ends meet. Orwell's perspective and tone is not that of the detached, omnipotent narrator that many social investigators strived to be; instead, he vividly records his own response to what he found. The Road to Wigan Pier foreshadows the ideas that would be found in Orwell's novels, and remains an extraordinary account of life lived in poverty." Klappentext
