Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell's vivid account of his experiences fighting in the Spanish Civil War, is a portrait of disillusionment which offers background to the anti-Stalinist subtexts to Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell was shot in the neck, and forced into hiding as factions of the left fought on the streets of Barcelona.
