{"product_id":"homage-to-catalonia-9780544382046","title":"Homage To Catalonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1936, originally intending merely to report on the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, George Orwell found himself embroiled as a participant--as a member of the Workers' Party of Marxist Unity. Fighting against the Fascists, he described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches--with a \"democratic army\" composed of men with no ranks, no titles, and often no weapons--and his near fatal wounding. As the politics became tangled, Orwell was pulled into a heartbreaking conflict between his own personal ideals and the complicated realities of political power struggles.  Considered one of the finest works by a man V. S. Pritchett called \"the wintry conscience of a generation,\" Homage to Catalonia is both Orwell's memoir of his experiences at the front and his tribute to those who died in what he called a fight for common decency. This edition features a new foreword by Adam Hochschild placing the war in greater context and discussing the evolution of Orwell's views on the Spanish Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42979100917926,"sku":"9780544382046","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9780544382046.jpg?v=1656110257","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/homage-to-catalonia-9780544382046","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
