Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell`s personal account of his experiences and observations fighting in the Spanish Civil War for the POUM militia of the Republican army.

Published in 1938 (about a year before the war ended) with little commercial success, it gained more attention in the 1950s following the success of Orwell`s better-known works Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).
