Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

''Above all, there was a belief in the revolution and the future, a feeling of having suddenly emerged into an era of equality and freedom.''In late 1936, the idealistic young George Orwell set out for Spain to join the Republican Army in its battle against the fascists. There he encountered a country in chaos. From the heady promises of revolutionary Barcelona to the betrayals, logistical nightmares, and petty factional conflicts, Orwell describes the war in all its gruesome detail with his characteristic flair for language. A fascinating, deeply personal account of how a movement gave up its ideals in pursuit of a victory that never came, the Homage to Catalonia is a remarkable chronicle of the Spanish Civil War.ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Essential Orwell presents George Orwell''s most acclaimed fiction and non-fiction titles with striking contemporary cover-designs.
