The Road to Wigan Pier
Author: George Orwell
Publisher: Modernista
ISBN: 9180948650
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
George Orwell provides a vivid and unflinching portrayal of working-class life in Northern England during the 1930s. Through his own experiences and meticulous investigative reporting, Orwell exposes the harsh living conditions, poverty, and social injustices faced by coal miners and other industrial workers in the region. He documents their struggles with unemployment, poor housing, and inadequate healthcare, as well as the pervasive sense of hopelessness and despair that permeates their lives. In the second half of the The Road to Wigan Pier Orwell delves into the complexities of political ideology, as he grapples with the shortcomings of both socialism and capitalism in addressing the needs of the working class. GEORGE ORWELL was born in India in 1903 and passed away in London in 1950. As a journalist, critic, and author, he was a sharp commentator on his era and its political conditions and consequences.

Interviews Through Time & Selected Prose
Author: Roy Fisher
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Poetics. A kind of biography in poetics, INTERVIEWS THROUGH TIME AND SELECTED PROSE weaves disparate threads into a narrative guide to the life and work of British poet Roy Fisher. Fisher's intelligent, candid voice comes alive in this carefully edited selection of interviews from 1975 to 1998; the picture is filled out by an autobiographical piece that covers the poet's early years, by Fisher's own tongue-in-cheek review of his last collection, and by five of the Talks for Words that he recorded for the BBC in the late 1970s. Writing in Poets of Britain and Ireland since 1960, Deborah Mitchell lauded Fisher's ability to combine an openness to a wide range of international and modernist influences with a scrupulous honesty towards his experience and a healthy distrust of the bogus and the metaphysical. SPD also carries Fisher's chapbook IT FOLLOWS THAT.

Walks Around Wonderful Wigan
Author: Cliff Peters
Publisher: ShieldCrest
ISBN: 1913839087
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
I have always enjoyed the beauty around Wigan, the place I’ve spent all my life and I set myself a remit to fully discover our lovely town, and its surrounding areas. I’ve covered over 600 extremely enjoyable miles during this three-month period, discovering new pathways and experiences every day. During these exploratory walks, I became enthralled at the abundance of nature that thrives around the town and came across roe, fallow deer; weasel; hare and rabbit; and squirrel by the hundred. I saw and heard countless songbirds (including the elusive kingfisher), several varieties of waterfowl, and birds of prey (great crested grebe and marsh harriers among them). I was also really surprised by the number of thriving and well-stocked stables in the borough. Wigan has proved to be a great surprise and source of pleasure even to me, a resident of 65 years, and it still continues to be so. I hope you will eventually be of the same opinion.
