9788535916003CIA DAS LETRAS. new. "No sistema capitalista para que a Inglaterra possa viver em relativo conforto 100 milh�es de indianos t�m que viver �� beira da inani��o - um estado de coisas perverso mas voc� consente com tudo isso cada vez que entra num t�xi ou come morangos com creme."" � dessa forma unindo a pegada do inconformista com a mordacidade do literato que George Orwell pinta as rela��es entre a metr�pole imperial brit�nica e suas col�nias na ��sia na segunda parte de O caminho para Wigan Pier publicado originalmente em 1937. � na primeira parte por�m que ele d� conta com seu costumeiro estilo l�mpido ""de vidra�a"" como ele dizia direto e vigoroso de sua visita ��s �reas de minera��o de carv�o em Lancashire e Yorkshire no norte da ilha brit�nica. A pobreza e o sofrimento atroz dos mineiros s�o retratados ali com um grafismo brutal desde as condi��es esqu�lidas de moradia ao medo das frequentes ondas de desemprego que assolavam a regi�o colocando em risco extremo a sobreviv�ncia f�sica dos trabalhadores e de suas fam�lias. Orwell j� havia mergulhado a fundo na experi�ncia da pobreza quase absoluta nos dois anos que viveu perambulando como mendigo e trabalhador desqualificado pela Fran�a e pela pr�pria Inglaterra - experi�ncia narrada em seu primeiro livro Na pior em Paris e Londres. A isso somou-se o impacto desses dias passados lado a lado com os mineiros de carv�o o que resultou n�o s� na pioneira pe�a de new journalism express�o que s� apareceria a partir dos anos 1960 nos Estados Unidos da primeira parte de Wigan Pier como tamb�m na an�lise amarga e muitas vezes sard�nica da estrutura social dos preconceitos de classe brit�nicos e das fragilidades e inconsist�ncias da esquerda intelectual bem-nascida que lemos na segunda parte da obra. Neste livro vemos o futuro e celebrado autor de cl�ssicos universais j� em plena floresc�ncia de seu projeto liter�rio e existencial que o levou a abandonar os privil�gios de sua classe a execrar qualquer forma de imperialismo e a mergulhar de corpo e alma na vida dos trabalhadores pobres e dos exclu�dos sociais.
