This book brings Orwells short but intense experience during the Civil War in Spain. The book homage to Catalonia, until now had not been published in full in Spain, all texts, war-related articles, letters and book reviews. The political disenchantment, the rejection of the manipulation of history, the denunciation of Stalinism and the yearning for freedom, characterize the entire work of this exceptional soldier/author who fought fascism with an old Mauser, and survive to tell the story.
