About the book

George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia is his personal account of fighting in the Spanish Civil War. 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.
