Essential Read

The Road To Wigan Pier
by George Orwell

















Briefing notes: The first half of the tome presents Orwell's insights into the existence of the working class living in the the industrial towns of Northern England in the years before the outbreak of World War Two. The second, explores Orwell's own beliefs and thoughts on socialism. The themes touched upon in the prose have remained relevant to life since its publication and perhaps in this current moment in time, more relevant than ever.
