Sinossi
Testo inglese a fronte
Ambientato durante la guerra civile spagnola, cui George Orwell partecipò in prima persona, Omaggio alla Catalogna è il racconto della dimensione più cruda e feroce della guerra, fatta di «proiettili rombanti e schegge d’acciaio», ma soprattutto di «fango, pidocchi, fame e freddo». L’esperienza del fronte, vissuta tra le file dell’esercito repubblicano contro il regime totalitario di Francisco Franco, si rivelò determinante per Orwell, che proprio in quest’occasione mostra di maturare per la prima volta il suo rifiuto e la sua condanna nei confronti dei governi autoritari. Pubblicato nel 1938, Omaggio alla Catalogna è una cronaca di straordinaria importanza e una testimonianza diretta del fermento che unì gli entusiasmi della sinistra europea prima dell’avvento dell’egemonia stalinista.

1. Homage to Catalonia has the distinction of being on my mental to-read list for longer than any other book. I've wanted to read this book longer than any of the people who elbowed or punched me in the face this week have been alive. I figured after almost twenty and half years I should finally rea Leggi tutto
Page 127 the author states that while watching a “fat Russian” it was the first time that he had seen “ …a person whose profession was telling lies - unless one counts Journalists” I wonder what the sublimely brilliant writer of this observation, George Orwell, would think if he was seeing the accus Leggi tutto
