Homage to Catalonia, by George Orwell
€4.00

Quay Books
“Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it”. Thus wrote Orwell following his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, chronicled in Homage to Catalonia.
Here he 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 episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men and women he fought alongside, the terror and confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound and the vicious treachery of his supposed allies.
“One of Orwell's very best books and perhaps the best book that exists on the Spanish Civil War.” - The New Yorker
“A wise book, one that once read will never be forgotten.” - Chicago Sunday Tribune
