Homage to Catalonia 4.09 (52,511 ratings by Goodreads) Paperback Collins Classics English By (author) George Orwell Categories: Biography: Historical, Political & Military Memoirs True War & Combat Stories Reportage & Collected Journalism European History 20th Century History: C 1900 To C 2000 Military History Description HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. In 1936, George Orwell volunteered as a soldier in the Spanish Civil War. In Homage to Catalonia, first published just before the outbreak of World War II, Orwell documents the chaos and bloodshed of that moment in history and the voices of those who fought against rising fascism. His experience of the civil war would spark a significant change in his own political views, which readers today will recognise in much of his later literary work; a rage against the threat of totalitarianism and control.
