` Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism & 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 & clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes & cynical betrayals of that chaotic episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men & women he fought alongside, the terror & confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound & the vicious treachery of his supposed allies. Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author & journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent & influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory ” Animal Farm” was published in 1945, & it was this novel, together with the dystopia of ” Nineteen Eighty-Four” (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. All his novels & non-fiction, including ” Burmese Days” (1934), ” Down & Out in Paris & London” (1933), ” The Road to Wigan Pier” (1937) & ” Homage to Catalonia” (1938) are published in ” Penguin Modern Classics”.
