The book arrived in good condition as described. I'm learning a lot about the Spanish civil war that I had never heard before. The political situation was not a simple struggle between a military junta and government loyalists. It was much more nuanced and complicated than that.

    The book was a gift to an old expatriate who lived in Catalonia.. Recommended for young, idealistic, educated boys seeking adventure.

  • Realism hurts, doesn't sell, and is depressing...Sweat

    Title says it all, Orwell had a knack to cut with a clean knife, the aristocracy hated and the common man could relate to, He also had a very unique perspective. Going from observer, citizen of an Imperialist coffin, journalist; he became a combatant for the free state of Catalonia, A very real possibility that would of seen anarchy rule in tandem with nobility. Idealists often suffer, as did Orwell, almost mortally wounded in a trench by a sniper's bullet. The fine lines Orwell strokes bluntly with colloquialism and hyperbole are often scary parallels to situations presenting themselves to the keen observer. Frankly if you enjoy you're creature comforts, don't read this book, as Orwell was masterful at creating such a self righteous, often correct, superlative ...

  • It's touted to be the best book that exists on the Spanish Civil War.

    I've just gotten started and am already intrigued. I have never read Orwell's more famous works but their thoughts and imagery are ubiquitous so I'm excited as I move forward in Homage.
