More about the book
George Orwell's 'Urban Rides'. in which he recorded the state of the nation in a time of mass unemployment. These factual, shocking, but sublimely human reports, phrased in a vivid style and shot with a wary mistrust of the political cant of the intelligentsia of all hues, make Orwell's contemporary comment on the miner's life, on class, on slums, unemployment, and malnutrition 'as fresh and stimulating as when he first wrote' - Daily Telegraph
