Homage to Catalonia

Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

'An unrivalled picture of the rumours, suspicions and treachery of civil war' Antony Beevor Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it'. Thus wrote Orwell following his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, chronicled in Homage to Catalonia. Here he brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men and women he fought alongside, the terror and confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound and the vicious treachery of his supposed allies. A firsthand account of the brutal conditions of the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia includes an introduction by Julian Symons.

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
