《通往威根码头之路》是奥威尔作品。奥威尔实地考察英国北部矿工贫困生活，揭示阶级苦难，兼具纪实深度与对社会公平的反思。

先知在成为先知前，会是一个怎样的人？ 冷峻头脑与赤忱良心的社会纪实，“他做了恩格斯在十九世纪中叶所做过的事情。” 1930年代，受一家左翼图书俱乐部委托，奥威尔前往英国北部工业区，调查记录工人阶级的真实处境。奥威尔所做的不仅仅是调查；他下到矿井最深处，住进破败肮脏的工人住宅，用笔尖使煤矿工人生活的每一个侧面都纤毫毕现，80年后的今天读来，依然真实得振聋发聩。而这幅图景所传递的绝望与贫穷更是有一种超越时代与国界的可怕震撼力。同时，威根码头之路也是奥威尔审视自我内心的社会主义之路。出身于英国中产阶级的他回顾了自己是如何逐渐怀疑，进而痛恨当时割裂英国社会的森严阶级壁垒。因为在他的心中，社会主义归根到底只意味着一种理念：“正义与自由”。
