Polina Krasnova _olina_rasnova — Homage to Catalonia was an incredible read. Sometimes the best explanation of war is what it is like to be there. Orwell attempts to immerse the reader in his experience of the Spanish Civil War: What it smells like at the front, what it feels like to be the butt of libelous propaganda, what it's like to shoot at a human being for the first time, what it's like to get shot yourself (he barely survives a bullet through his throat). A lot of the feelings he experienced seem to be a part of any war, and it is interesting to read while one's own country is at war. There is a desperate hope for everything to end, but as soon as a soldier leaves the front, something makes him/her desperately want to return. Orwell also makes a valiant effort to explain the very muddled politics of Spain (from his own biased perspective, as he regularly warns readers). The group that he happened to be fighting with was one of the most extreme of the revolutionary parties of Spain. Eventually they were accused of fighting for the Fascists by weakening the Popular Army via political division, even though politics seemed to matter very little on the front. Though Orwell is plainly anti-fascist, he picks every party manifesto on the side of the Spanish government to pieces. Orwell is critical of everything, especially the journalists who sit far away from the war writing stories about what they want to happen rather than what is happening. In one chapter, Orwell scours several newpapers of the time and finds very little truth in stories they tell. I like Orwell's style. His straightforward, non-flashy, non-cutesy, journalistic writing fits this genre well, and brings clarity to the events of the Spanish civil war. I have the feeling this book is gonna stick with me for a while.
