Agreed. 1984 gets all the attention and is the first thing anyone thinks when they hear "Orwell" but I think Homage to Catalonia was a much more interesting book and explored political ideas at a much deeper level than 1984. Don't get me wrong, they both have a spot in my top 10, but sadly Homage is relatively unheard of in comparison while (imho) being a better book.
- dave2000 11y agoHomage, though, requires some background knowledge of the war, and of the history leading up to the war. Whereas anyone can pick up 1984.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoThe one that hit me like a thunderbolt was "Burmese Days". I need to reread "Catalonia" though.
