«Homage to Catalonia» is George Orwell's autobiographical account of the Spanish Civil War, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (in English).
George Orwell recounts his experience as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War: the chaos of the front, the pointless death of young men, obsolete weaponry, and the disillusionment of British volunteers. He also evokes the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary people who fought alongside him, and the betrayal of his supposed allies.
Part of the Penguin Modern Classics collection. 272-page English edition, with an introduction by Julian Symons and a note on the text by Peter Davison.
Intended for readers of contemporary history, war memoirs, and followers of George Orwell's work.
