Orwell travelled to Spain in 1936 and joined a militia opposing the forces of General Francisco Franco, experiencing trench warfare and eventually being wounded by a bullet through the throat. Alongside his descriptions of combat, Orwell records the bitter political divisions within the Republican side and the suppression of rival left-wing factions. Direct, personal and politically important, the book profoundly influenced Orwell's later thinking about propaganda, authoritarianism and political truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216558309715,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421213966675,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/1693.jpg?v=1792532336","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/homage-to-catalonia-2008-folio-society-1693","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
