About the Book

Edición definitiva avalada por The Orwell Estate.

Sin duda uno de los libros más importantes del siglo XX. Una obra clave sobre la guerra civil española por uno de los principales escritores de la época y testigo del episodio.

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

La presente edición, avalada por The Orwell Foundation, sigue fielmente el texto definitivo de las obras completas del autor, fijado por el profesor Peter Davison. Incluye, además, un prólogo del profesor y ensayista Miquel Berga, que reconstruye con maestría la historia editorial del libro. Miguel Temprano García firma la estupenda traducción, publicada por primera vez en 2011.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This edition follows the definitive text endorsed by The Orwell Foundation.

Without a doubt one of the most important books of the 20th century. Homage to Catalonia is a fundamental work and one of the most famous accounts of the Spanish Civil War by one of the leading writers of the time, and witness to the events.

Admired by authors of every age and background, from Connolly and Trilling, to Javier Cercas, Antony Beevor, and Mario Vargas Llosa, Homage to Catalonia is a powerful manifesto from man against ideas and notions that inevitably lead to terror. It is also an important text about the Spanish Civil War, an unparalleled testimony that collects George Orwell's personal experiences fighting for the POUM militia of the Republican army. The British author arrived in Barcelona at its full revolutionary effervescence in December 1936, but in less than a year he had to leave the POUM militia. The honesty and courage with which Orwell narrates what he experienced make him the epitome of moral writers by excellence.

This edition, endorsed by The Orwell Foundation, faithfully follows the definitive text of the author's complete works, put together by Professor Peter Davison. It also includes a prologue by professor and essayist Miquel Berga, who masterfully reconstructs the book's editorial history. Miguel Temprano García authored the wonderful Spanish translation, first published in 2011.
About the Author: George Orwell (Motihari, India, 1903 - Londres, 1950), cuyo nombre real era Eric Blair, fue novelista, ensayista brillante y maestro de periodistas. Podría decirse que su breve vida resume los sueños y las pesadillas del mundo occidental en el siglo XX. Nació en la India británica en el seno de una familia de clase media, estudió con una beca en el exclusivo colegio de Eton, sirvió en la Policía Imperial en ultramar (Los días de Birmania, 1934), volvió a Europa, donde vivió a salto de mata (Sin blanca en París y Londres, 1933), regresó a la Inglaterra rural y empezó allí el ejercicio de la docencia (La hija del clérigo, 1935), escribió sobre la clase obrera inglesa y la explotación (Que no muera la aspidistra, 1936; El camino a Wigan Pier, 1937), recogió su experiencia de lucha contra el fascismo en la turbulenta Guerra Civil española (Homenaje a Cataluña, 1938), vislumbró en la convalecencia posterior el derrumbe del viejo mundo (Subir a por aire, 1939), colaboró con la BBC durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se consagró en el Tribune y el Observer como uno de los mejores prosistas en lengua inglesa (entre su vasta producción ensayística cabe destacar El león y el unicornio y otros ensayos, 1940), fabuló las perversiones del socialismo (Rebelión en la granja, 1945) y llegó a anticipar nuevos tipos de sociedad burocrática e hiperpolítica (1984, 1949). A pesar de su temprana muerte, se le sigue considerando la conciencia de una generación y una de las voces más lúcidas que se han alzado contra toda clase de totalitarismos.
