About the book
George Orwell portrays the lives of workers and the unemployed in industrial England, narrating his firsthand observations of poverty, inhumane working conditions, and the reality obscured by statistical data. The second part of the book is an incisive essay on socialism and the cultural barriers to its acceptance among the working class.
A seminal work that combines immersive journalism with political analysis, revealing the truth about the lives of the marginalized.
