THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER
In the 1930s, Orwell went undercover to investigate the poverty and mass unemployment in the industrial heartlands of northern England. He chose to live as the coal miners did--sleeping in foul lodgings, subsisting on a meager diet, and going down into the backbreaking mines. He clarifies what the middle class fails to understand about the working poor.
