Both the books 1984 & The Road to Wigan Pier are written by English essayist, journalist and critic George Orwell. The story is about a man named Winston Smith who comes with his own ideologies when it comes to the freedom given to the people in a society which is decided by the party in power. He vehemently opposes the rigid control and oppression of the Party wherein people have little or no personal freedom. But he brings along with him his own share of fixations and love angles that make it even more gripping. The story is about the scary and impassionate way in which politics works in an autocratic set-up. The Road to Wigan Pier is a book by the English writer George Orwell, first published in 1937. The first half of this work documents his sociological investigations of the bleak living conditions among the working class in Lancashire and Yorkshire in the industrial north of England before World War II. In the broadcast radio interview of 1943 Orwell elaborated on the name Wigan Pier: ‘Wigan is in the middle of the mining areas. The landscape is mostly slag-heaps – Wigan has always been picked on as a symbol of the ugliness of the industrial areas.
