Описание: Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever... - Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read - "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can't escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions--a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Описание: The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother - `1984` itself: these terms have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute.

Описание: Documents the author`s `first contact with poverty`. This title shows a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris` vile `Hotel X`, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and more.

Описание: Sin duda uno de los libros mбs importantes del siglo XX. Una obra clave sobre la guerra civil espaсola por uno de los principales escritores de la йpoca y testigo del episodio.

Admirado por autores de toda йpoca y condiciуn, desde Connolly o Trilling hasta Javier Cercas, Antony Beevor o Mario Vargas Llosa, Homenaje a Cataluсa es un poderoso manifiesto del hombre contra las abstracciones que acaban conduciendo inevitablemente al terror. Es tambiйn un texto clave sobre la guerra de Espaсa, un testimonio sin par que recoge la experiencia personal de George Orwell. El autor britбnico llegу en diciembre de 1936 a una Barcelona en plena efervescencia revolucionaria, pero en menos de un aсo tuvo que huir de la implacable maquinaria soviйtica por haber formado parte de las milicias del POUM. La honestidad y el coraje con el que Orwell narra lo que viviу le convierten en el escritor moral por excelencia.

La presente ediciуn, avalada por The Orwell Foundation, sigue fielmente el texto definitivo de las obras completas del autor, fijado por el profesor Peter Davison. Incluye, ademбs, un prуlogo del profesor y ensayista Miquel Berga, que reconstruye con maestrнa la historia editorial del libro. Miguel Temprano Garcнa firma la estupenda traducciуn, publicada por primera vez en 2011.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Homage to Catalonia remains one of the most famous accounts of the Spanish Civil War. With characteristic scrutiny, Orwell questions the actions and motives of all sides whilst retaining his firm beliefs in human courage and the need for radical social change.

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by Helen Graham, a leading historian on the Spanish Civil War.

When George Orwell arrived in Spain in 1936, he signed up to fight with the Republican army against Fascism. Homage to Catalonia is his bracing personal account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. From the front line he describes, with brutal honesty, the frustrations and inefficiencies of battle; he is caught up in vicious street fighting in Barcelona and must flee for his life when Republican factions turn on each other.

Описание:

'This is the story of one man who went to Spain with an intellectual sympathy for socialist doctrine and came back...with a fervent, almost religious belief in its necessity'

Both a memoir of Orwell's experiences during the Spanish Civil War and a heartfelt tribute to those who died, Homage to Catalonia is an extraordinary first-hand record of him time on the frontline. Written with all of the depth, passion and deep human understanding that defines Orwell's writing this is incredible work of non-fiction tells of the battles that were faced by ordinary working people as they fought for both their lives and their ideologies. Although Orwell was himself near-fatally wounded he finds both bleak and comic notes in his experience which is recorded with such clarity and depth that this short work has become one of his best known.

Despite a mixture of laudatory and politically biased reviews, that first edition of 1,500 copies had still not sold out by the time Orwell died, twelve years after the book was published.

George Orwell, penniless and with nowhere to go, found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. This book gives an account of the streets and those who have no choice but to live on them.
