Book description
This book contains a number of documents, such letters to and from George Orwell pertaining to the time he spent in Spain in the 1930s fighting for the Spanish Revolution. But by far the most important item included in ORWELL IN SPAIN is Orwells book, HOMAGE TO CATALONIA. This work is Orwells first hand account of his experience fighting alongside socialists, communists, and anarchists in Spain, and I cannot stress how much this book is a political education in itself.We have for years been hearing various commentators from the political centre and the right using Orwell as their sock puppet to criticize socialism or communism (1984 and ANIMAL FARM spring to mind here) without paying any attention to the fact that Orwell himself was a committed lefty and opposed Stalinism precisely because Orwell, unlike Stalin, was a socialist. There is not, however, any way HOMAGE TO CATALONIA can be glazed with a bourgeois varnish to make it look as if Orwell was ever chumming up with capitalism against the working class or socialism, and that is why in the popular consciousness HOMAGE TO CATALONIA is not present.Orwell analyzes not only the military fighting at the front, in which he took an active part, but the propaganda and political struggle that took place on the home front. I know of no other work that does such a thing in such thoughtful detail, and with full regard to the personal, human, and even spiritual dimension of politics. If you want to hear from a man who is eminently thoughtful, practical, AND idealistic, Orwell is your man.
