Homage to Catalonia and Aragon by George Orwell
de Antonio Escartín, Fernando Casal, Miquel Berga y Salvador Trallero
The projection of a territory through the work of a world-renowned writer is an intangible asset of incalculable value.
George Orwell created a chronotope in Spanish lands that is now part—whether or not they know the territory—of the literary imagination of thousands, millions of readers worldwide. This edition from Sariñena Editorial aims to acknowledge the profound impact of his work on the places that shaped his experience of the Spanish Civil War: a few weeks in Barcelona and about five months on the Aragon front.
