	Homage to Catalonia (Harvest Book) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Homage to Catalonia is the story of Orwell's time serving in the republican (government) forces in the Spanish civil war.
		Homage is part memoir, part adventure tale, part history and part dissection of the politics which finally destroyed the republican cause.
		Orwell originally went to Spain to serve as a correspondent but shortly after arrival joined to the Socialist P.O.U.M militia, a decision which was made largely at random but which was to bring Orwell into conflict with the mainline communist supported government, and which finally forced Orwell to flee Spain after the P.O.U.M's suppression.

		If you read Homage To Catalonia you would have seen that the Commies (usually the ones who DID NOT fight at the front) were the ones responsible for the imprisonment and execution of many of those fighting on the Republican side.
		'Homage to Catalonia' differs from 'Nineteen Eighty-four' and 'Animal Farm' in that it is a non-fiction account of Orwell's actual experiences rather than an allegorical work of fiction or scientific romance novel.
		Homage to Catalonia certainly provided a lot of inspiration for Orwell when he wrote 'Animal Farm' and 'Nineteen Eighty-four' and their are many aspects of the book which link closely to them.

		They were particularly strong in Catalonia, and had played a major role in the initial organisation of resistance to the Army revolt and revolutionary activities.
		It was partly to fight against the effects of this policy of lies that he wrote Homage to Catalonia.
		The place of this experience of the persecution of POUM by a disciplined party prepared to use bald lies to achieve its ends in the development of Orwell's forebodings about a totalitarian future, and his linking of this threat not just with Fascism but with Communism too, is evident enough.

	'Homage to Catalonia' by George Orwell - notes by Joan Zimmerman.
		Homage to Catalonia is a riveting book, and one of the few to clarify the mysterious Spanish Civil War.
		While it is not a comedy, it is often funny because Orwell and his companions were able to see some of the humor in their dire circumstances.
		Orwell is conscientious in reminding us that his views are personal and limited to a particular area of Catalonia in a few months near the start of the Spanish Civil War.

		Homage to Catalonia is a great read both as literature and history.
		It was the first time Orwell had ever been in a town where the working class "was in the saddle." He clearly conveys the sense of excitement of seeing the city under de facto workers' control, and the intensity of the revolutionary spirit which coursed through the people.

		In Catalonia, in February, there had been a wave of enthusiasm over the first big drive for the Popular Army, but it had not led to any great increase in recruiting.
		The war was only six months old or thereabouts when the Spanish Government had to resort to conscription, which would be natural in a foreign war, but seems anomalous in a civil war.
		Politically there was now no power in Catalonia except the P.S.U.C. and their Liberal allies.

		Along with the collectivization of industry and transport there was an attempt to set up the rough beginnings of a workers' government by means of local committees, workers' patrols to replace the old pro-capitalist police forces, workers' militias based on the trade unions, and so forth.
		In Catalonia, for the first few months, most of the actual power was in the hands of the Anarcho-Syndicalists, who controlled most of the key industries.
		To anyone who had been there since the beginning it probably seemed even in December or January that the revolutionary period was ending; but when one came straight from England the aspect of Barcelona was something startling and overwhelming.

		The train crawled out of Catalonia and on to the plateau of Aragon at the normal wartime speed of something under twenty kilometres an hour.
		But in Spain, especially in Catalonia, it was an attitude that no one could or did keep up indefinitely.
		The P.S.U.C. (Partido Socialista Unificado de Cataluña) was the Socialist Party of Catalonia; it had been formed at the beginning of the war by the fusion of various Marxist parties, including the Catalan Communist Party, but it was now entirely under Communist control and was affiliated to the Third International.

	The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Homage to Catalonia (West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds)
		Homage to Catalonia is an ambitious co-production between the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Northern Stage, Teatre Romea, Forum Barcelona 2004 and MC93 Bobigny (which immediately calls to mind the old adage about too many cooks).
		Directed by Josep Galindo and featuring a cast of ten British and Spanish actors, much of the dialogue is in Catalan and the stage is dominated by a huge screen on which newsreel footage of the Spanish Civil War is projected.
		Suffice to say that the only non-newsreel image I carried away from this mess was the scene in which Orwell, shot through the neck by a sniper, compares the experience to that of being hit by lightning.

		Barcelona, 1936 from Homage to Catalonia, by George Orwell.
		This was in late December 1936, less than seven months ago as I write, and yet it is a period that has already receded into enormous distance.
		The Anarchists were still in virtual control of Catalonia and the revolution was still in full swing.
