Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

Homage to Catalonia remains one of the most famous accounts of the Spanish Civil War. With characteristic scrutiny, Orwell questions the actions and motives of all sides whilst retaining his firm beliefs in human courage and the need for radical social change. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by Helen Graham, a leading historian on the Spanish Civil War. When George Orwell arrived in Spain in 1936, he signed up to fight with the Republican army against Fascism. Homage to Catalonia is his bracing personal account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. From the front line he describes, with brutal honesty, the frustrations and inefficiencies of battle; he is caught up in vicious street fighting in Barcelona and must flee for his life when Republican factions turn on each other.

Velice zajímavý pohled na tuto válku/revoluci. Orwell mi přijde hodněkrát chladnokrevný. Naleznete zde politický rozbor různých stran a názorů ale také pohled kterým se na válku díval sám autor. přijde mi že kniha hodně skáče různých časových období ve chvíli kdy se to moc nehodí a pokud nečtete jen určité kapitoly tak vás kniha může velmi rychle přestat bavit
