"Ten years ago it was almost impossible to get anything printed in favour of Communism; today it is almost impossible to get anything printed in favour of Anarchism or 'Trotskyism'" he wrote. It has become widely seen as one of the most important firsthand accounts of the Spanish Civil War and the lead-up to WWII. Harcourt, Brace & Company unknown

Very Good with light wear soiling and mottling to cloth. Foxing to textblock edges endpapers and first and last few pages offsetting to free endpapers. Slightly over-opened at title page. Fenwick A.6a.<br /> <br /> <p>The first edition of George Orwell's disillusioned memoir of his time serving in the Spanish Civil War. Readers sympathetic to the Republicans were dismayed by his account of the internal strife that tore apart the leftist front and the Daily Telegraph suggested that his memoir lead to the conclusion that "perhaps only Franco can save Spain from tearing herself to pieces." The unity that was ultimately imposed by the victorious general came at a high cost: tens of thousands of Spaniards were executed after the war and hundreds of thousands sent to concentration camps. Homage to Catalonia of course was banned. Secker and Warburg unknown

9786559570669AVIS RARA. new. Aos 33 anos o escritor brit�nico George Orwell embarcou na noite de 25 de dezembro de 1936 em uma esta��o de trem de Paris com destino a Barcelona.Os vag��es estavam cheios de voluntǭrios europeus que rumavam para lutar contra os fascistas na Guerra Civil Espanhola. Ao longo de seis meses Orwell participou de treinamentos militares com adolescentes espanh��is atirou contra soldados franquistas montou guarda no telhado de um cinema dormiu enrolado em uma cortina de cabarǸ na companhia de duas granadas e fumou cigarros feitos por andaluzes humildes. De volta a Barcelona depois de meses no front passando fome e frio n�o p�de participar do conflito em Madri. Dias depois testemunhou a a��o dos comunistas que prenderam e fuzilaram anarquistas e trotskistas � grupos aliados que estavam ali lutando tambǸm contra o fascismo � enquanto as tropas de Franco avan��avam no restante do pa�s. Essa experi�ncia espanhola de perceber o autoritarismo presente nos movimentos que deveriam lutar contra as ditaduras moldou a vis�o de mundo de Orwell que depois escreveria os livros A revolu��o dos bichos e 1984. Este livro inclui Homenagem �� Catalunha que o autor esbo��ou em Barcelona e o ensaio Recordando a guerra espanhola redigido anos mais tarde. Ao longo dos textos mais de sessenta notas trazem explica����es e curiosidades que foram aqui reunidas e sistematizadas pelo jornalista e tradutor Duda Teixeira. Esta edi��o conta ainda com uma linha do tempo e um glossǭrio que auxiliam a entender a complexa Guerra Civil Espanhola precursora da Segunda Guerra Mundial. A palavra contudo Ǹ sempre do brilhante George Orwell. � ele quem comanda esta aventura. AVIS RARA unknown
9786559210190CIA DAS LETRAS. new. Mais do que um vislumbre �� forma��o do estilo e das ideias que norteariam a obra de George Orwell Homenagem �� Catalunha Ǹ um documento hist��rico que retrata com sinceridade atroz o desengano de toda uma gera��o.Em 1936 o jovem George Orwell trocou a Inglaterra pela Espanha onde se alistou na mil�cia socialista Poum para enfrentar os fascistas liderados por Franco. A experi�ncia narrada com honestidade e sem recorrer a artif�cios romanescos Ǹ a matǸria de Homenagem �� Catalunha.Ao chegar no front em Barcelona Orwell recebeu um treinamento curto e in�til um rifle falho e trapos para usar de uniforme. Ansioso para o combate suas ilus��es duraram poucas noites: ele precisou encarar a inutilidade da luta e de servir para uma mil�cia que mais atuava distraindo os fascistas do que os combatendo.Como o pr��prio Orwell afirmou a experi�ncia traumǭtica na guerra que incluiu ser atingido por um tiro quase fatal na garganta foi responsǭvel por moldar a percep��o pol�tica e a vis�o de mundo que norteiam livros como 1984 e A Fazenda dos Animais. Socialista atǸ o fim o autor testemunhou o ponto de inflex�o no qual sonhos revolucionǭrios se revelaram uma fachada para puls��es autoritǭrias e violentas. CIA DAS LETRAS unknown
