Homage to Catalonia

Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

"The Spanish Civil War was the turning point in Orwell's career. He arrived in Spain in December 1936, full of idealism and determined to defeat Fascism; he barely escaped just six months later, a bitter man on the run from the secret police. Homage to Catalonia is Orwell's first-hand account of his time in Spain. In it, he sets out the story of the war and confronts his own naivety and the mistakes he made. The lessons Orwell learned would inform both Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. The war acted as a crucible for his views, and he would spend the rest of his career denouncing lies, propaganda, and thought control. This new edition of Orwell's seminal memoir, edited by Lisa Mullen, includes explanatory notes and an introduction placing the book in its literary and historical context." Klappentext.

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
