Anyone who knows me knows I famously detest[ed] Orwell, but I have to eat my words here. This opining is eloquent, ironically bourgeoisie and educated, but well aware of such fact. It is laid out well, easy to follow, and politically enlightening - and oddly horrifying and disconcertingly applicable to modern times at points.
Forceful book. Interesting how the (critical and negativ) view of socialists seems to be the same then, as the one that reins today: Sandal wearing vegetarians that care more about telling others what to do - and dont - instead of actualle changing their own ways.
Well written, intelligent and sharp.

Muito interessante, o Orwell é mesmo honesto. Num livro a defender o socialismo não deixa de criticar ferozmente os socialistas. A primeira parte é a descrição da pobreza que ele viu, a segunda a defesa (e crítica) do socialismo.

"The Road to Wigan Pier" by George Orwell
George Orwell's socialist treatise, "The Road to Wigan Pier" is a memoir-novel based in the titular place Wigan. The narrator gradually pains a history and then the current conditions of his residence and his status as a worker of the working class. He lives and works in rather inhumane and injurious conditions.
MY THOUGHTS:
Though Orwell is known for his dystopian plots and novels of the sort, I give my homage to him as I write this book review, praising him for writing a book that is timely even to the modern day. Humanity never fails to repeat the mistakes of the past, the fact that workers to this day are on the mercy of greedy corporate giants never fail to continue this slave-type basis for work. That is all, I give 4 stars to this work of semi-fiction.
