''The Road to Wigan Pier'' by George Orwell is not your typicaltravelogue. Imagine a journey where the biggest sights are coalmines and the main attraction is the stark reality of working-classlife in 1930s England. Orwell, who’s more famous for giving us adystopian future, now brings us a vivid portrayal of a dystopianpresent (or past, depending on when you’re reading this!). Buckleup for a trip through the grim streets of northern England,where the food is bland, the coal dust is plentiful, and the only’Instagrammable’ moments involve poverty and social injustice.It’s a unique expedition where Orwell’s sharp wit and keenobservations turn a grim topic into a compelling read. Forgetluxury cruises and beach resorts; this is one ’road trip’ that willchange the way you see the world - no fancy luggage required!
