Homage to Catalonia (Penguin Modern Classics)

Abstract

In this chronicle of his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic and brutal episode in European history. 'An unrivaled picture of the rumors, suspicions and treachery of civil war' - Anthony Beevor.
