About This Novel

George Orwell is a British writer who is world-famous for "Animal Farm" and "1984". In 1936, after the Spanish Civil War broke out, Orwell joined the Republican Army led by the Spanish Communist Party as an international volunteer to support the anti-Franco Spanish Civil War. He stayed on the Aragon front for nearly six months until he was shot through the throat by an enemy sniper at Huesca and had to return home to recuperate. Later, Orwell wrote this experience into a novel to pay tribute to Catalonia. This novel can be called his "memoir of the Spanish Civil War." As a witness of the war, he exposed some of the Comintern's lies about the Spanish Civil War. This is also one of Orwell's famous works.
