The Road to Wigan Pier

New Annotated Edition

George Orwell
English | Hardcover

In January 1936, the thirty-two-year-old George Orwell left his home in London and travelled to the industrial north of England with the intention of experiencing first-hand the conditions in which the working-class poor were compelled to live their lives. During his two-month expedition he visited Manchester, Wigan and Liverpool in the north-west, then Sheffield, Leeds and Barnsley in Yorkshire, recording his impressions as he went in a diary that would later form the basis of one of the most significant works of literary reportage ever written.Part sociological survey, part polemic about the potential benefits of socialism - as well as the failures and idiosyncrasies of many of its middle-class exponents - The Road to Wigan Pier represents a unique record of a society riven by class inequality and plagued by unemployment, inadequate housing, unsafe working conditions and other social ills, as well as providing an invaluable insight into the evolution of Orwell's political consciousness.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying
Keep the Aspidistra Flying
George Orwell
Gordon Comstock loathes dull, middle-class respectability and worship of money. He gives up a 'good job' in advertising to work part-time in a bookshop, giving him more time to write. But he slides instead into a self-induced poverty that destroys his creativity and his spirit. Only Rosemary, ever-faithful Rosemary, has the strength to challenge his commitment to his chosen way of life. Through the character of Gordon Comstock, Orwell reveals his own disaffection with the society he once himself renounced. (lib)

Animal Farm
George Orwell
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. All his novels and non-fiction, including Burmese Days (1934), Down and Out in Paris and London (1933), The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) and Homage to Catalonia (1938) are published in Penguin Modern Classics.

George Orwell
Ingiliz yazar George Orwell, ülkemizde daha cok Bin Dokuz Yüz Seksen Dört adli kitabiyla taninir. Hayvan Ciftligi, onun cagdas klasikler arasina girmis bir diger cok ünlü eseridir. 1940lardaki reel sosyalizmin elestirisi olan bu roman, dünya edebiyatinda yergi türünün basyapitlarindan biri olarak kabul edilir. Hayvan Ciftliginin baskisileri hayvanlardir. Bir ciftlikte yasayan hayvanlar, kendilerini sömüren insanlara baskaldirip ciftligin yönetimini ele gecirir. Amaclari daha esitlikci bir topluluk olusturmaktir. Aralarinda en akilli olan domuzlar, kisa sürede önder bir takim olusturur; ama devrimi de yine onlar yolundan saptirir. Ne yazik ki insanlardan daha baskici, daha acimasiz bir diktatörlük kurulmustur artik. George Orwell, bu romaninda tarihsel bir gercegi elestirmektedir. Romandaki önder domuzun, düpedüz Stalini simgeledigi aciktir. Diger kahramanlar gercek kisileri cagristirmasalar da, bir diktatörlük ortaminda olabilecek kisilerdir. Altbasligi Bir Peri Masali olan Hayvan Ciftligi, bir masal anlatimiyla yazilmistir; ama kücükleri eglendirecek bir peri masali degil, carpici bir politik taslamadir.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels that Shaped the World''Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past'Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying
Keep the Aspidistra Flying
George Orwell
Despite hailing from a comfortable family background, budding poet Gordon Comstock decides to declare war on money and all the middle-class trappings that wealth can buy. Working in a small bookshop and living in a bedsit in London, he dreams of completing an ambitious poem in rhyme royal and devoting his life to literature. But when poverty begins to damage his self-esteem and taint his worldview, and his romantic and professional lives start falling apart, will Gordon be able to uphold his anti-money principles, or will he succumb to the lure of lucre and everything he stands against? First published in 1936, Keep the Aspidistra Flying is the author's third novel, and one of his most outspoken works of social criticism. Partly autobiographical, it sits alongside Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four as a reminder of Orwell's lucid narrative style and his abilities as a politically and socially engaged writer.
