GEORGE ORWELL (1903-1950) was born in India and served with the Imperial Police in Burma before joining the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell was the author of six novels as well as numerous essays and nonfiction works.
In this chronicle of his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic and brutal episode in European history. 'An unrivaled picture of the rumors, suspicions and treachery of civil war'.

重讀馬恩的《共産黨宣言》,雖相隔百十年光景,到激蕩處仍覺擲地有聲。“一切神聖的都已腐朽,一切堅硬的都已煙滅。”這可能是史上最好的一篇檄文,用斬釘截鐵的果決把人類曆史大卸八塊,用堅硬如鐵錘一樣的語言把所有古老的、保守的、封建的王公貴族們一錘一錘地敲進曆史的深...
評分剛讀完《1984》時的興奮感如今依然記得,老大哥,真理部和超級大國像是陰謀論裏的名詞,神秘又性感地在眼前跳躍。那似乎是一種簡潔明瞭的優越感,好像洞悉一切。那世界被簡化成瞭非黑即白的兩極世界,隻不過在《1984》裏,除瞭男女主角而外,其他都是黑色的。那種快感和《搏擊...
評分奧威爾遭遇瞭一切最殘忍因素,在我們看來這次為期6個月的經曆是不堪迴首的,“它帶來的痛苦遠遠超過一般的屠殺和肉體”,還應包括人生最最沉重的理想破滅理,然後導緻對世界的仇恨,然後“玩世不恭”。 “奇怪的是,整個經曆卻讓我更加堅信人類的高尚品質。”(奧威爾...

finally.....T-T 原著果然還是很難完全領會到 倒是被加泰人民戰前準備活動萌腫瞭
評分"With my discharge papers in my pocket I felt like a human being again, and also a little like a tourist. For almost the first time I felt that I was really in Spain, in a country that I had longed all my life to visit.”這一本就不經心地擺在加泰藝術宮門口,和那藍到融化的天,那風,都印象深刻。看內戰的素材。
評分階級鬥爭+革命+反法西斯+政治陰謀,這樣的混戰下,士兵們隻是工具,連機器都算不上。那些帶著理想而來的少年,即使獲勝也未必能活著離開。鷸蚌相爭漁翁得利,無恥的漁翁。無恥背後,是更加無恥。但這些,他人毫不關心。
評分interesting question:how the Soviet Union Communist Party allied itself with right wing socialists and liberals to crush the POUM。。。
評分不僅是西班牙內戰,也是二十世紀社會主義曆史的悲劇性的見證
