Publisher's Summary

A graphic and biting polemic that still holds a fierce political relevance and impact despite being written over half a century ago. First published in 1937 it charts George Orwell's observations of working-class life during the 1930s in the industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire. His depictions of social injustice and rising unemployment, the dangerous working conditions in the mines amid general squalor and hunger also bring together many of the ideas explored in his later works and novels.

Great book, takes you back in time, still relevant

But be warned the first few chapters are very very horrible, truly difficult to read through, but you have to go through them, don't skip it.

What a change since part2, chapter 8\ audio book chapter 15
One of the most important books to be read if you want to understand Socialism and its strengths and weaknesses in its truest form


When you hit part 2 the content starts to resonates with genuine interest, then slowly few more chapters down the line you can see the true brilliance

But don't skip anything, if you don't skip this, the conclusion will blow your minds, especially if you are are a socialist
It has the capacity to open your mind to think about the impossible barrier
By the ending you could find yourself in a conversation with the author
