Forced to hide in the streets of Barcelona and finally to flee from Spain, Orwell returned to England and recorded his experiences of the Civil War that started as a genuine workers' revolution and ended as a tragic waste of life and ideals. Although pursued by the very partisans of a cause he had fought for, Orwell manages to view the cruelty, inefficiency, and political manoeuvring with sufficient detachment and humanity to give the reader a clear picture of this pitiful and muddled war. Tragic and harrowing, this is a book that demands to be read.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39861101658199,"sku":"7861446","price":7.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243451_jpg.jpg?v=1658934119","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/george-orwells-homage-to-catalonia-penguin-1972","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
