Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. He describes fighting as a militiaman on the side of the Republicans, as well as the gradual erosion of the Anarchist revolution in Catalonia and the power struggle between various factions on the Republican side. It may well be the most famous book about the Spanish Civil War, and is widely praised for its Brutal Honesty.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The entire book can be read for free online here. Note that two chapters that were initially published as appendices have been renumbered as chapters in this version. | |

A-Team Firing: Everyone in Spain is a terrible shot, according to Orwell. 'In this war, everyone always did miss everyone else, when it was humanly possible.' It saved his life on several occasions. | |

| Homage to Catalonia / int_a270b9e5 | comment |
Anarchy Is Chaos: Averted. Anarchist Catalonia is portrayed largely favourably, and while the situation in Spain is hardly in a condition that an outside observer might qualify as order, Orwell makes it clear that this is due to it being in a state of civil war rather than due to it being in a state of anarchy. The POUM troops may be a Ragtag Band of Misfits but they are also quick to stand up for one another. The opening pages of the book portray what conditions are like in Catalonia away from the trenches and they are anything but chaotic. | |
