À propos de cet audio

A graphic and biting polemic that still holds a fierce political relevance and impact despite being written over half a century ago. First published in 1937 it charts George Orwell's observations of working-class life during the 1930s in the industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire. His depictions of social injustice and rising unemployment, the dangerous working conditions in the mines amid general squalor and hunger also bring together many of the ideas explored in his later works and novels.

Read this on recommendation by Jordan Peterson. It outlines the life of the working and lower classes from the perspective of an open minded Borgois man living among them. It also describes the transitional issues that arrive when trying to convert an entire civilization to socialism as is happening still today. Fascism is a real danger, ever lurking in the shadow of socialism. Great read, decent narrator.

This book was not what I expected, it was way better. I think the themes of class and power are as relevant as ever. People trying to survive with what they have. The struggle of trying to move up, to better themselves is everyones story. However we are moving backwards when people want to live homeless. How much should they be helped and why do we judge them? A great discussion is necessary.

So relevant., Required learning

Incredibly interesting to learn in great detail about the hardships of working class folks in early 20th century Northern England in the early chapters. The later chapters were more political and philosophical, and less engaging for me. Definitely still worth a read.

A revealing look at how society has change so little since the time of Orwell. The same issue that were apparent in the past remain in society today as political ponerology is used to control humanity and accounts for most of its suffering. The argument Orwell sets forth are still valid today though the context has changed.

A Window in Time that Reveals both the Past and the Future

Amazing how George Orwell basically predicted the cultural landscape we face today. For someone who was pro socialism he really paints a dark picture for the future.
