Krátky popis
This is Orwell's memoir of his experiences during the Spanish Civil
War - a groundbreaking work of dissident literature drawn from
vivid personal experience. There are occasions where it pays better
to fight and be beaten than not to fight at all... Both a memoir of
Orwell's experiences during the Spanish Civil War and a heartfelt
tribute to those who died, Homage to Catalonia is an extraordinary
first-hand record of his time on the frontline.Written with all of
the depth, passion and deep human understanding that defines
Orwell's writing this is a vivid account of the battles that were
faced by ordinary working people as they fought for both their
lives and their ideologies. Although Orwell was himself
near-fatally wounded he finds both bleak and comic notes in his
experience which is recorded with such clarity and depth that this
short work has become one of his best known. 'The finest model of
how to write about a foreign conflict, a war or a
revolution...Brilliant reportage' Timothy Garten-Ash '[Orwell]
describes what is happening in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil
War in such a way that we are able to see why he’s so upset about
Soviet power. His argument is not one of category and concept but
of irresistible observation' Timothy Snyder'When he went to Spain,
[Orwell] was an unknown. He wasn’t Hemingway.He wasn’t a
well-connected intellectual. He just had this amazing eye for
detail. He was an amazing observer, and he could write so
powerfully.This book, to me, is just one of the classics of foreign
reporting' Guy Raz
