,,The Road to Wigan Pier" George Orwell AUTHOR George Orwell was the pen name of the English author, Eric Arthur Blair. He was born on June 25 in 1903 in Motihari, Bengal, in the then British colony of India, where his father, Richard, worked for the Opium Department of the Civil Service.

News story fragments, snatches of song lyrics, political speeches of that times and even advertisement. Mass culture
