书籍简介

自1936年以来，我所写的每一部严肃作品，都直接或间接地反对极权主义，支持我所理解的民主社会主义。为了向加泰罗尼亚致敬，奥威尔根据自己在西班牙内战中担任民兵的经历写下了这番话。在这本书中，他展现了人性、激情和清晰的全部力量，用苦涩而强烈的笔触描述了那一段混乱时期中光明的希望和愤世嫉俗的背叛:巴塞罗那革命的喜悦，与他并肩作战的普通西班牙男女的勇气，前线的恐惧和混乱，他几乎致命的枪伤，以及他所谓的盟友的恶毒背叛。

乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)的《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》(Homage to Catalonia)是对西班牙内战残酷条件的记述，其中包括朱利安·西蒙斯(Julian Symons)在企鹅现代经典著作中的导言。

'Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and 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 and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men and women he fought alongside, the terror and confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound and the vicious treachery of his supposed allies.

A firsthand account of the brutal conditions of the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia includes an introduction by Julian Symons in Penguin Modern Classics.

作者简介

埃里克·阿瑟·布莱尔(1903-1950)出生在印度，他的笔名乔治·奥威尔更为人所知。作为作家和记者，奥威尔是20世纪文学中杰出和有影响力的人物之一。他独特的政治寓言《动物庄园》于1945年出版，正是这部小说和反乌托邦的《1984》(1949)使他享誉世界。他的小说和纪实作品包括《缅甸岁月》、《在巴黎和伦敦落落潦倒》、《通往维根码头之路》和《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》。

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 and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
