Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's account of his experiences and observations fighting for the Republican army during the Spanish Civil War. The war was one of the shaping events on his political outlook and a significant part of what led him to write, in 1946, «Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for Democratic Socialism, as I understand it.»

"Una obra literaria perfecta". T. S. Eliot "El tiempo y el devenir político han hecho que Rebelión en la granja aparezca hoy con trazos críticos hacia los nacionalismos y los populismos e, incluso, hacia los partidos y líderes democráticos que, al llegar al poder, incumplen sus promesas, cambian sus principios y se engolfan como, élite". Manuel Hidalgo, periódico El Mundo.Es.

The first half of The Road to Wigan Pier documents his sociological investigations of the bleak living conditions among the working class in Lancashire and Yorkshire in the industrial north of England before World War II. The second half is a long essay on his middle-class upbringing, and the development of his political conscience, questioning British attitudes towards socialism.
