Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Revised ed. A National Review Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the CenturyOne of Orwells very best books and perhaps the best book that exists on the Spanish Civil War.-The New YorkerIn 1936, originally intending merely to report on the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, George Orwell found himself embroiled as a participant-as a member of the Workers Party of Marxist Unity. Fighting against the Fascists, he described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches-with a democratic army composed of men with no ranks, no titles, and often no weapons-and his near fatal wounding. As the politics became tangled, Orwell was pulled into a heartbreaking conflict between his own personal ideals and the complicated realities of political power struggles.Considered one of the finest works by a man V. S. Pritchett called the wintry conscience of a generation, Homage to Catalonia is both Orwells memoir of his experiences at the front and his tribute to those who died in what he called a fight for common decency. This edition features a new foreword by Adam Hochschild placing the war in greater context and discussing the evolution of Orwells views on the Spanish Civil War.No one except George Orwell . . . made the violence and self-dramatization of Spain so burning and terrible.- Alfred Kazin, New York TimesA wise book, one that once read will never be forgotten.-Chicago Sunday Tribune.
