Summary

An exhilarating collection of Orwell’s writing on the Spanish Civil War.

The volume collects together Orwell’s writings on his experience of the Spanish Civil War—the chaos at the Front, the futile young deaths for what became a confused cause, the antique weapons, and the disappointment many British Socialists felt on arriving in Spain to help. Orwell in Spain also includes the complete text of the nonfiction masterpiece Homage to Catalonia.

About The Author

George Orwell

George Orwell (Author)

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.

Peter Davison (External Editor)

Peter Davison is Research Professor of English at De Montfort University, Leicester. He edited the twenty volumes of Orwell’s collected works, as well as his diaries.
