About this product
Product Information
George Orwell is a difficult author to summarise. He was a would-be revolutionary who went to Eton, a political writer who abhorred dogma, a socialist who thrived on his image as a loner, and a member of the Indian Civil Service who chronicled the iniquities of imperialism. Both the books in this volume were published in the 1930s, a a low, dishonest decade, as his coeval W.H. Auden described it. Orwell's subjects in Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier are the political and social upheavals of his time. He focusses on the sense of profound injustice, incipient violence, and malign betrayal that were ubiquitous in Europe in the 1930s. Orwell's honesty, courage, and sense of decency are inextricably bound up with the quasi-colloquial style that imbues his work with its extraordinary power. His descriptions of working in the slums of Paris, living the life of a tramp in England, and digging for coal with miners in the Midlands make for a thoughtful, riveting account of the lives of the working poor and of one man's search for the truth. This edition includes the following essays: Marrakech; How the Poor Die; Antisemitism in Britain; Notes on Nationalism

Received the extremely well packaged book today, very prompt indeed.
It was described as in 'very good condition', it certainly was and is, it looks new!
And at the bottom of the invoice I was thanked for my purchase with this goodwill message added,

A first class service, well done all involved.

Item delivered on time and as described. This is going to be a gift for a huge Jane Austen fan, so I won't be reading it, but it seems to have all of the content that was mentioned in the listing. It was a terrific price, too. Excellent service. Am more than happy to recommend seller. Thank you very much.
