George Orwell - O Caminho para Wigan Pier (Livros do Brasil)

In 1936, at the invitation of publisher Victor Gollancz, George Orwell left London and headed north to spend two months alongside the working-class community of Yorkshire and Lancashire. He encountered filth, poverty, hunger, terrible working conditions in the mines and, outside of them, rising unemployment. The Road to Wigan Pier is a brilliant, frank, sometimes controversial and provocative account of that period, whose political impact continues to reverberate to this day, questioning class privileges and appealing for a concrete humanism.
