Descriere

Based on the original 1930's first edition and not the later 1952 edition. Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's gripping personal account of his harrowing experiences and observations in the Spanish Civil War of the late 1930's.

 "I wonder what is the appropriate first action when you come from a country at war and set foot on peaceful soil. Mine was to rush to the tobacco-kiosk and buy as many cigars and cigarettes as I could stuff into my pockets." Most war correspondents observe wars and then tell stories about the battles, the soldiers and the civilians. George Orwell--novelist, journalist, sometime socialist--actually traded his press pass for a uniform and fought against Franco's Fascists in the Spanish Civil War during 1936 and 1937. He put his politics and his formidable conscience to the toughest tests during those days in the trenches in the Catalan section of Spain. Then, after nearly getting killed, he went back to England and wrote a gripping account of his experiences, as well as a complex analysis of the political machinations that led to the defeat of the socialist Republicans and the victory of the Fascists.


Notă biografică

George Orwell, the pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, was born in Bengal, India, in 1903. He was educated at Eton and became a policeman in Burma. After leaving the police, he began to investigate the poverty in India and Europe which shaped his thinking about equality, money and power. His great works, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four are a product of his hatred of totalitarianism in all its forms and he was as critical of Stalin in the 1930s as he was ready to fight Fascism in the Spanish Civil War. His legacy of writing and political thought is much admired today. He died of tuberculosis in 1950.
Dr. Jaron Murphy (Introduction) is a Senior Lecturer in Communication, Journalism and Literature at Bournemouth University. An award-winning journalist, he holds a DPhil in Literature from the University of Oxford. In 2018, he appeared on the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) list of most respected journalists following research by Cardiff University which asked journalists working in the UK and Ireland ‘which living journalist they felt most embodies the values of journalism that they respect and adhere to’. His scholarship on Orwell includes the chapter ‘Orwell the Journalist’ for the impending Oxford Handbook of George Orwell (OUP). In 2022, he was Chair of the judging panel for the UK-wide Young Journalist's Award sponsored by the Orwell Society and National Union of Journalists. The panel included Orwell's son, Richard Blair, who is Patron of the Orwell Society.
