(4.09) | 275 | 'Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it'. Thus wrote Orwell following his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, chronicled in Homage to Catalonia. Here he brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men and women he fought alongside, the terror and confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound and the vicious treachery of his supposed allies. A firsthand account of the brutal conditions of the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia includes an introduction by Julian Symons in Penguin Modern Classics.… (més) |

| Epígraf |
Respon a l'insensat segons la seva follia,
de por que no es figuri ser savi.
Es talla els peus, ha de beure injustícia
el qui envia paraules per mà d'un neci.

A les Casernes Lenin de Barcelona, la vigília del dia en què vaig allistar-me a les milícies, vaig veure un milicià italià dret davant la taula dels oficials. | |

Informació del coneixement compartit en anglès. Modifica-la per localitzar-la a la teva llengua. ...beware of my partisanship, my mistakes of fact and the distortion inveitably caused by my having seen only one corner of events. In war, all soldiers are lousy, at least when it is warm enough. But I would sooner be a foreigner in Spain than in most countries. How easy it is to make friends in Spain! The chief excitement was the arrival of Fascist deserters, who were brought under guard from the front line. Many of the troops opposite us on this part of the line were not Fascists at all, merely wretched conscripts who has been doing their military service at the time when war broke out and were only too anxious to escape. It was the first time in my life I had fired a gun at a human being. In this war, everyone always did miss everyone else, when it was humanly possible. I was breathing the air of equality, and I was simple enough to imagine that it existed all over Spain. I did not realize that more or less by chance I was isolated among the most revolutionary section of the Spanish working class. The way in which the working class in the democratic countries could really have helped her Spanish comrades was by industrial action—strikes and boycotts. One had been in a community where hope was more normal than apathy or cynicism, where the word ‘comrade’ stood for comradeship and not, as in most countries, for humbug. One had breathed the air of equality. Orwell takes his place with these men as a figure. In one degree or another—they are geniuses, and he is not—if we ask what it is he stands for, what he is the figure of, the answer usually: the virtue of not being a genius, of fronting the world with nothing more than one’s simple, direct, undeceived intelligence, and a respect for the powers one does have, and the work one undertakes to do. (Introduction, by Lionel Trilling) Not very much attention was paid to his truth—his book sold poorly in England, it had to be remaindered, it was not published in America, and the people to whom it should have said most responded to it not at all. (Introduction, by Lionel Trilling) You could not, as before, ‘agree to differ’ and have drinks with a man who was supposedly your political opponent. It is a horrible thing to have to enter into the details of inter-party polemics; it is like diving into a cesspool. There are occasions when it pays better to fight and be beaten than not to fight at all. ...they agree on nothing except in putting the blame on the other side. The fact is that every war suffers a kind of progressive degradation with every month that it continues, because such things as individual liberty and a truthful press are simply not compatible with military efficiency. | |

Down here it was still the England I had known in my childhood: the railway-cuttings smothered in wild flowers, the deep meadows where the great shining horses browse and meditate, the slow-moving streams bordered by willows, the green bosoms of the elms, the larkspurs in the cottage gardens; and then the huge peaceful wilderness of outer London, the barges on the miry river, the familiar streets, the posters telling of cricket matches and Royal weddings, the men in bowler hats, the pigeons in Trafalgar Square, the red buses, the blue policemen--all sleeping in the deep, deep sleep of England, from which I sometimes fear that we shall never wake till we are jerked out of it by the roar of bombs.
